We gave some of those countries and some of those reasons. <br /><br />Cyclists are creating a lot of havoc on roads across this country and others, and many are fed up with it. And of course, this is the wrong way to go about it.<br /><br />We here always discourage any kind of violent retaliation or retribution. Call your local politicians to get cyclists off the roads, do it the right way. <br /><br />Appreciate your thoughts, valid criticism and very well thought out. But it doesn't change things. People are increasingly become frustrated with cyclists.Spare The Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873364553147447027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374447401273536649.post-55587414529266364622012-07-17T12:09:56.826-07:002012-07-17T12:09:56.826-07:00I'm not exactly sure how you are drawing a con...I'm not exactly sure how you are drawing a connection between these tack attacks and people being fed up with cyclists for making them late to work. Seems like a very desperate attempt to justify the acts of some hooligans.<br /><br />Cycling in France is treasured as a national sport just as baseball is in America. It just doesn't seem likely someone would choose to sabotage the tour for some vendetta against cycling commuters.<br /><br />The tack attack which occurred in Central Park happened in an area which is always closed to motor vehicles during the morning hours in which cars are not allowed in the park at all. To say it was done as retribution for cyclists delaying traffic is a reach.<br /><br />Finally, if these people are angry cause they are late to their 2-3 jobs should they really be wasting their time laying tacks or attending the Tour? Surely there would be more productive ways to spend their hard pressed time.<br /><br /><br />*I apologize for any typos, I wrote this on my mobile phone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374447401273536649.post-88575874913250745752012-07-17T12:08:35.894-07:002012-07-17T12:08:35.894-07:00Thanks for reading.

Are you also a raciest? Do other peoples rights often offend you?? Or are you just trying to illustrate what a true douches is?
