Faux ghost bikes

I'm bored of this and your stupid arguments now.

For some one that keeps calling me all the names and saying I'm not a very nice person you are rather rude and offensive. If any arguments that disagree with you are stupid then you must have met alot of stupid people. Stupid and disagree mean different things.

I will say this once more: GHOST BIKES AREN'T DESIGNED TO PROMOTE CYCLING, THEY ARE DESIGNED TO RAISE AWARENESS OF CYCLIST VULNERABILITY.

You sir, are the one missing the point.
I get what they do.
The point is that in doing it they fails to promote cycling, and instead positively discourage people from cycling. We need more cyclists on the road so that the governments (local and national) have to consider cyclists needs more because its no longer a tiny majority of people. This in turn leads to laws and directives funded by the treasury to be started, and those force change. Telling people its dangerous, fatal and not good (which is what Ghost bikes do accidently) doesn't help any one. That is of course assuming they work, and don't just fail (as I believe they do).

Ghost bikes - if they are being compared to an advertising campaign - would be most akin to a viral campaign. I think that if someone pitched a very low cost viral campaigh to a brand that would take a year, they'd probably go for it.

So they are a viral. And a memorial. And a charity. And a symbol. I'm confused. What are your ghost bikes?

And why are they so fragile that they are destroyed by an off-white bike with an a-board on it? Why does such a things existence encourage such feeling of hate in you?

Here's to hoping that your boss reaps the rewards of his sensitivty.

Same could be said of your malice and nastiness to an individual of whome you have never met. Odd things for someone who likes tolerance. You aren't. You believe you are right, and that people who disagree are "stupid" and peole who don't do as you want should be "punished." Thats almost the definition of intolerance. I severly disagree with ghost bikes. I really fucking do. But I'm not going to wish nasty things on their creators or supporters nor am I going to go and steal or vandalise one.

And to go back to my point of not caring. I'm no hypocrite.
On NYE the mayor of Croydon died suddenly. He was my teacher at school, my friend and someone I looked up to. It upsets me greatly. It upsets others. People will read the story in the paper and most wont care, and wont be intersted. Thats the way the world works. Its no slight on him or on me. You probably won't really care, though you may post to say you do, but its not going to affect your life. But I also say this as away of explaing why have been a little rash with my replies today. I'm not quite as level headed as I would normaly be.
