Hey! That’s a great idea... positively brilliant! But won’t the steel cable damage cars that run into it too?

Just string across the sidewalks.

“A steel cable across the road will end their fun real fast.”

Nice sentiment. I suppose you were fine with the Ruby Ridge and Waco LEO responses then?

You are advocating Government-sponsored indiscriminate killing/maiming to curb bad citizen behavior. Good to know; we don’t need no stinking DUE PROCESS...

That’s right! And the same thing should apply to abortions and free medical for illegals, and all other kinds of fraud, waste and abuse of our taxes! Amen! What’s good for the goose, by golly is good for the gander!

I seem to recall NYPD handling this recently by rounding them up enmass and crushing their bikes. Bye bye.

Until Motorcycle riders are NO LONGER covered by my Tax dollars when they are in rehab and nursing homes for millions of dollars cause they wanted to be FREE and not wear helmets..

Don't stop there. You better demand occupants of cars and trucks wear helmets too because the fact is many more sustain head injuries in cars and trucks than motorcycles. This is simple because there are many times more cars and trucks involved in collisions which cause head injury.

I decided about 15 years ago that big cities are too dangerous to one’s life in general.

They may be able to outrun a police cruiser, but they can’t outrun a bullet.

Close, but not exactly right.
Also if a Chicago copper so much as thinks about using a firearm, he has hours of pencil-pushing and will be written up.

“Now you might outrun my old Chevrolet but you can’t outrun my own two way”

But the police are not allowed to shoot them, unfortunately.

Those “police vs bikers” youtube videos really are something. The police catch the occasional guy, but it’s amazing how many of them basically goad the police and then simply leave at will.

So they are at Mad Max now and the festivities haven’t even begun?

An early sign, the end times of Chicago have begun.

That would be cruel. It sounds like they’re a very playful sort. I would buy them some toys. Hula hoops laid in the street with bags of marbles poured inside very slippery. Hard to stand on or drive over. Oops!

I stayed home those nights.

I hear you missed some fun.

I was invited a few times, didn’t think I’d fit in with the group.
Also I kind of like the padding built into my spandex shorts.

The Wild One based on “The Cyclists’ Raid” by Frank Rooney.

Groups of displaced WWII guys.

We’re seeing what happens when the civil society ceases to exist. People are replacing “Do unto others as you would have done to you” with “Do what thou wilt, and damn the consequences”.

Is there anything about Chicago that doesn’t suck?

There’s a lot of people who wouldn’t consider those as real motorcycles.

Why, because they can accelerate and stop with high performance, and handle corners and twisty roads?

The food in Chicago is fantastic, the architecture too.

Same type crowd that storms convenience stores and steals everything they want? Yes. No need to look.

Meh! The architecture I could definitely do without, and good food can be found anywhere.
