August 26, 2004 -- The "Bike National Convention" may have just had its tires slashed. The NYPD yesterday announced a crackdown on a group that promotes monthly mass bike rides and has promised traffic-disrupting events during the GOP convention. The group, Time's Up, founded the so-called "critical mass" rides on the last Friday of each month.
The crackdown was spurred by Time's Up's planned Bike National Convention, timed to coincide with the Republican gala.
On Tuesday, the riders evoked Paul Revere's famous ride, with bicyclists chanting, "The Republicans are coming!" along Lexington Avenue.
A police source said that caught the NYPD's attention.

The last two paragraphs of the article make you want to break the guys spokes.
The more I read about the planned activities to disrupt the convention, the more thankful I am I don't live on 50th street anymore!

I have a simple solution to dealing with bike terrorist.
It only takes a few people with 6 foot bamboo poles or garden poles to step in front and conveniently place those poles in said spokes.
One could even stand at the side and throw them into the mass of bikes. Nuck, Nuck, Nuck.

I don't know about parents who buy their little kids toys and tell them to go play in traffic.

I misunderstood. I thought this was going to be a convention for athletic supporter manufacturers.
