Fahrradsternfahrt
=================

"Mit der Fahrradsternfahrt wird für eine
sozialverträgliche sowie gesundheits- und
umweltbewußte (insbesondere klimaschonende)
Verkehrspolitik bzw. Wahl der Verkehrsmittel unter
weitgehendem Verzicht auf den motorisierten
Individualverkehr demonstriert und geworben." So
it's basically the same naive kind of thinking that
makes Grüne switch of AKWs even if that makes
Klimawandel worse. You can't have your
fundamentalist cake and eat it. And the Comic Sans
isn't helping either. But it would be nice to cycle
over the Köhlbrand Brücke on a Sunday morning, and
coming from cycle paradise Holland I know there is
a lot of room for improvement in the Hamburger
Fahrrad situation, even if they are pushing it to
far with all their Bio crap. The bicycle helmets
they are probably wearing aren't hempen homespun,
but justified the same way a SUV is justified by
someone who can afford one. But before I
participate in something political Homoland
Security can send me to Guantanamo Bay for because
I accidentally supported Hummer humping or
something, or the whole thing is just another bad
idea involving a star, lets check the legal stuff:
Versammlungsfreiheit für "Fuckparade 2001", right
there on the site of the Bundesverwaltungsgericht.
Well, if the Fuckparade can get away with it, I
guess so can I. But my interpretation of
Sozialverträglich is cycling on the Elbchaussee and
just enjoy the Aston Martins, Bentleys, Rolls
Royces, Mustangs, Corvettes, Lamborghinis,
Ferraris, Lotus, Maseratis, Longchamps and
Scimitars as the works of art they are.

They could do something about the insane amount of
Porsches though.
