I am quite sure there are other forms of energy as well but IMO they are being held back by TPTB to keep us dependent on oil. WE have to make a stand somewhere and if we can get people together to start on one issue, and it works, perhaps we can take it to the man for a change.

I bike all year round and one of my best friends does as well as he is a bike messenger.
No need for the name calling though so lets be nice and have a constructive discussion please.

I would love to get my "butt" off gas, but sometimes beans do that to you. LOL. But seriously,we have to start somewhere. If Lindsey Williams is correct, not saying he is, then oil may go as high as 200 per barrel. The motive behind the gas protest is to get people to start fighting back now. If we can make a difference on one issue, maybe we can push on other issues as well.

Don't get me wrong, I bike a lot in the nice weather as well, but I live in Canada, they don't make snowtires for bicycles.

Some like mountain bikes but i prefer smaller tires as its easier to stay upright on ice.
My *winter* tires are actually slicks that are about the width of my thumb.

well the deck is stacked against us as agroup
this method was proposed before by Webster Tarpley (I think) in regards to coka cola
he claimed that Coke was vulnerable and the shockwave through the system would scare the hell out of the PTB

so the idea might work.
the oil reserves that lindsey mentioed are easy to find
gull island the bakun (sp?) field...the montana coal reserves


bp put several billion into the tar sands last year
they need high prices to pay off
they let the trans alaska pipeline dekay to the point where it is rotting out in many places....
right there
there's your sign

I found my mountain bike ( a trek) with front and rear suspension and mudders
is great most times as long as it isn't glare ice or deep snow

main thing:
my doctor wonders what I am doing to be in the shape I am for my age
knock wood
there are other benfits to not driving a car

LOL, ok so you have snow tires for your bike. Do you have side saddles as well to bring your kids with you as well?What do you do when you take the family with you, do you pull a trailer behind your bike as well? You must have a trailer so you can bring home your groceries, if you can afford them as well don't you?

If you think im so bad for driving my car to work because its so far why don't you start working on something to fix this 'gas' problem for us instead of blaming people who rely on it to get to work. BURNED


Where did I EVER say you were bad for driving your car? I drive to work as well. I have to it's too far.

Before you get all defense READ the post and learn how to post on here without attacking.

I have a good bag for my groceries and I have no kids or family.
I do own a trailer but only used it once for a trip I did on my b-day.
I also have a good job and am fine moneywise...I live very well.

Not a problem, as long as we can keep it civil, and actually get people to try something like this it may be a start.The end result is what matters, getting people to fight back.

I hear you, That is my favourite mode of transportation as well. I used to weigh over 300lbs, started getting a bad back. I was walking 15k a day and lost 80 lbs in just over 5 months, walking is the best way to health, but in order to get back on topic, the point behind this thread is to get people to start protesting somewhere about something in order to wake the people up to what is really going on in our world.

I think you hit the nail on the head with your post.
The financial motive does not match the humanitarian motive hence why an alternative should be what we should be looking for.
I might have made the choice to not have cars but I see my buddies whining about gas costs and its out of their control and effects their lives in a negative way which is why my opinion is what it is.
We need an alternative.

Sure alternative energy would be great if TPTB didn't hide it or make it way too expensive. We are being led to the slaughter the way we are going we have to make a change, start protesting, we have to hit the big corporations where it hurts.
