All I...... Alan Kupperberg: Yep, Richie, I remember the Coca Cola bottling plant on Linden Blvd between Georgia and Pennsylvania Avenues. Grandma Ann and Aunt Nettie lived in Starrett City. Coney Island Joe's was little more than a...... EvilGentleman: Two years and a few months later, this article still defines several different conflicts in a way that few if any articles can.
{Motorists} vs {Cyclists}
{Road Rage} vs {Radical Activism}
{Male} vs {Female}
{Entitled} vs {Empowered}
The article that...... Allison: Well, I was born in Flatbush and even though I've been out for 20 years the place still gives me the willies whenever I return. I live in Manhattan now and am constantly amazed at...... ex-Bellevillian: Personally...I think Belleville is the most boring town in the world and I grew up there. Still have family there too. Belleville has always had this gran idea of itself because it host...... Nelson: Had my bike stolen April 13 at Dufferin Mall. It's a yellow, with blue and red, Giant

CartLegger: here's some more historical background, compliment's of PBS POV program--the Spambot won't let me attach a link, so read below:
Barren Island, which appears on few modern maps, holds a special place in the city's garbage...... confused: The City of Hutchinson is boring for several reasons, 1. NO ECONOMY, NO GOOD attractions. There is plenty of Night Life in Hutchinson, but most of that involves drinking. It has been made very clear...... Caleb Chatfield: Yes Scott, the old Sankey Motors building comprises the sum total of what goes on in Belleville. Maybe this is your point, to get a rise out of individuals and to make broad sweeping...... EvilGentleman: I would agree with the majority of what has been said, but I will state my opinions on each issue, so it becomes obvious where I stand.
I think the best way to have notification on...... .nanotech.: [[img:18501]]

Even the location was a deliberate attempt to conceal it by constructing it in Denver Colorado's 1 mile high mountain area, knowing that planes flying at a maximum altitude will...... Cameo: The cabbies' fault no doubt... They are by far the worst drivers on the roads in this city. They are a menace to both cyclist, pedestrian and other motorists. Two days ago...... EvilGentleman: That was actually a pretty talented piece of flying. If I remember correctly, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk has a 32-foot wingspan, and the streetlights overhang the street, so he had to be accurate down to...... Scootr: My wife and I had the fortune of discovering Bishop's Castle via some friends in Canon City last summer while we were traveling through Colorado on our motorcycles. With no formal education, I have to...... EvilGentleman: awesome, as far as the city-sorting goes.
the peter-kebab is something else, all right. Good artwork, not so sure about the pose, mind you. LOL And the upper lip area looks a bit Fuhrer-like... or worse...... EvilGentleman: I have to agree that citynoise has opened up a new world to me, and has allowed me to express myself in ways I never considered before. I am so thankful that CBC provided the...... Jim: I took an hour to get through 1/2 of this chain (before giving up)so sorry if I'm repeating.
Leah is wrong! You can't have a city filled with people taking situations into their own hands. She...... John: That guy is a PUSSY!! I hope someone kick his ass, piece of Sh..t bastard, he was trashing the city for God sake!! if you're reading this Mr Motorist you're a PUSSY!!! PUSSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!... pedestrian pal: Rather than go on and on about cyclist versus motorist lets consider this. People who litter are pigs, people who seek out confrontations like this are fools or worse yet, holier than thou. ...... babs: I've had two days worth of blog comments to read. What I've noticed is that there seems to be two camps of opinions. One belonging to the cyclists and one to the motorists. I...... Mac: I can't even begin to fathom the Angst and anger being displayed on here. People!!!...REALITY CHECK! Listen to yourselves "it's us against them" My God, do you even realise what your'e saying? There has to......

Both sides: I have read/heard both side of the story. Unfortunately, the "motorist's" side was stated by his fiancé and not by him, as the actual participant. Both sides are plausible but I am still...... Jonesitis: Clearly this is not a case of motorist vs. cyclist. It is a prime example of urban vs. suburban lifestyle. In suburbia, it is OK to disrespect the envinronment, and people you don't...... Pete: to "dude had a baseball bat", the issue is very polarized. You have one take on the situation. Many other people see the incident from a different perspective. To you, Ethnicity/sexual orientation/...... dude had a baseball bat!: Strange how everyone defending motorist asshole keeps neglecting the fact that he went after the photographer with a baseball bat.
As I read your lame excuses for his behaviour I see no explantions for why...... poprad99: I have been riding bikes for 32 years and burning fossil fuels for 22 years.
I have been commuting year-round by bike for 9 years. I was assaulted and battered by a motorist in 1990 for...... Alfred: The Motorist should spend at least a couple of months for littering. Toronto is our city, not the living room, washroom or garage of the motorist. He MUST learn once and for all to keep...... lester: I once threw a pop can out my car window at a traffic light . Little did I know a police officer was in the car behind me . I received a fine and I...... Kevin: HEY FAT ASS!-What do you mean you're not a motorist, what do you do walk everywhere or hitchhike? This asshole would not have had his litter throw back at him, if he had thrown it...... too funny: The cyclist was way out of line.

JRM: I myself have wanted to kill a few bike couriers in my day as the majority of them feel they own the road because they schlep it out on them everyday which gives them the...... hool: not-h00l:
as i've said, i don't care if you believe that these photos and the story are authentic. so, if i were to state a license plate number, a six character alphanumeric string, how is......

Its this kind of antics that lead to the ever-growing population of critical massers, who do nothing for the city other than disrupt...... dd: I agree that the motorist is a bastard who deserves to be hung.
Leah deserves a sound spanking, and a fine though.
Anyone who, in her situation, cries "victim"(not that she necessarily is, but many people......
