Stephen Moser encounters "Critical Mass" again.
I lifted the following from Stephen Moser's After a Fashion article in the January 30th edition of The Austin Chronicle:
THEM? AGAIN? We had a near-miss with a small group of members of Critical Mass (wouldn't that be an Inconsequential Mass?) on South First recently – six or seven poorly dressed but well-behaved bicyclists took advantage of a red light, turned their bikes toward the cars, and put out their hands like they were the Supremes singing "Stop in the Name of Love." I jabbed Stephen Rice in the side with my finger: "It's them! It's them!" With traffic completely blocked, they began their slower than slow procession – so slow it made me wonder how they stayed on their bikes at all. Perhaps they were superglued to the bicycle seats or perhaps permanently impaled upon them. I'm sure if they'd known who was in the car they were blocking, they probably would have attacked me with air pumps and water bottles. Fortunately, Stephen and I were able to neatly sidestep any possible melee by zipping through an opening in their ranks and leaving them in the dust. I used to have an issue with Critical Mass, but now it's a full-blown subscription.
Wonder who these rogue cyclists were? Definitely not a Critical Mass ride, or there'd have been several hundred of them. Next time you see Stephen, say hi for me!
It looks like Moser isn't someone you want to mess with, considering he's been arrested on arson charges. If he's willing to set his friend's car on fire, just imagine what he'll do to your bike.

Simple fuck has no clue...but it sounds like 6 or 7 bold motherfuckers stopped some morons in cars and that's funny yo! see ya'll tomorrow at Critical Mass...late!
Stephen Moser is a douchbag and an assclown. But he is typical of the auto-addiction in our toxic car culture. He thinks it is his birthright to drive around in a car, spewing and dripping pollution. I can only hope that gasoline goes to $10.00 a gallon so that he will feel the pain.
I think he already felt the pain. After all, didn't you read his column? The cyclists were poorly dressed !
Though really, somebody should tell him ... if cyclists really attack, they use U-locks. How fortunate that nobody realized who they were dealing with! Somebody might have said `you suck!' and he'd have to retort with `you dress badly!' or `glued on to your seat are you?' or something similarly clever.
Ultimately, he's looking for another 15 minutes of fame -- after all, his column might (I do not know) be famous in certain circles but it's probably not often that he gets to annoy people outside of those circles. It's good to branch out!
