Re: "Critical Mass bullying embarrasses rider," Letters, Aug. 3.

The arrogance displayed by the self-centred cycling fringe movement behind the monthly Critical Mass celebration is only exceeded by the passive cooperation of our Dudley Do Rights in the VPD (led by Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­Police Chief Jim Chu).

The self-appointed ethical elite of cyclists, who inflate their egos by usurping the proper use of our roads and in the process irritating the law-abiding who are denied fair access for the intended purpose of our roadways, should be escorted by a police motorcycle cordon into a parking lot upon exiting the Art Gallery plaza.

They could be hassled legally, detained and released two or three at a time until they would lose their interest in wasting the public's patience and their own worthless time in future sil-ly and childlike protests.

Cyclists have been overindulged with city's financial resources disproportionate to their numbers for the past three years.

For the sake of peace and good government, a truly Canadian attitude, these anarchists need a physical reminder that protests require sacrifice by the activists as well as the general public they displace.
