Hi! You don't give a damn to come to Putrajaya?

Somebody commented on the previous post:

hai guys, sorry nak comment pasal event ni. to me this is not a critical mass. Understand critical mass. The aim of it is for awareness. The ride u guys buat is just a normal nite ride. Critical mass is something different, brake all the rules etc, no helmet, no lights, just hav any kind of bikes and ride. U guys kene check this blog, http://massa-kritikal.blogspot.com/. BTW criticall mass kene organize in a big busy city which is kl. If putrajaya at night, who give a damn. Beside nak g putrajaya pun kene drive then ride. dah salah."

Hi Ziq,
I'm glad at least someone responded and think i'm doing a stupid job organising this critical mass every month. As a response to your comment, I would like to say I don't give a damn if you think what i'm trying to here is on the wrong concept of a Critical Mass. In fact I don't give a damn if you don't give a damn to come over to Putrajaya and have a night ride. :)

"Critical Mass bike rides take place monthly in cities around the world. They are free mass participatory events, with no leaders or fixed agendas. However, the broad aim is to celebrate cycling and sustainable transport, and to give cyclists safety in numbers."
- Critical Mass Wikia

It's true most Critical Masses are organised in the rights of one or more advocacies. Do you even know what advocacy means?

"Advocacy - an active support of an idea or cause etc.; especially the act of pleading or arguing for something."

But don't you forget Critical Mass is a cycling celebration. I organised this every month in the hope to attract people to cycle and have fun and what's important, to enjoy cycling. I don't have to start anarchy on the first two times of Putrajaya Critical Mass because i think most of us is not a commuter. Most of us still drives to work. But in the end of the day, when we come back home we would still think "I've should've go to work with my bike today..." or at least you know you farking love your bike that you go to bike blogs, watch bike stunts in youtubes, you bitch in bike forums and for the most of us we browse and embrace the coolness of bike parts in www.bicyclebuysell.com. Hehehe. So yeah, you can call me poyo for organising this event every month and you can bitch about me. But I love cycling and I would like anyone out there who are beginners or not to enjoy and celebrate cycling as much as I do.

Now do you go to work riding your bike? Do you even care about the RM2.70 per liter of your cool car, Ziq? If you do - good for you! I support you all the way. I'm trying hard to cycle to work everyday but so far I've managed on the average of 3 days for the last two weeks. I've sold my MTB to get a faster ride. I've travel 36km one way. That's 72km both ways if your math sucks like your english. [It's "break" not "brake"] I have to wake up 5.30 for subuh and straight away go to work. But i don't do it everyday. Yes I am poyo. But I'm doing it slowly.

This time around, me and my friends are organising the Critical Mass to the cause that it is more fun to ride your bike rather than driving. So you're saying "why do i have to drive all the way to Putrajaya to celebrate cycling against motorists?". Now if you want to go to KL and DRIVE all the way because you want to support Critical Mass KL, hey, go knock yourself out. :D Hell you're even more stupid than your grammar.

Yes, we support Critical Mass KL, in fact some riders in the Putrajaya Critical Mass went to the first few of their rides. Until they stopped doing it anymore. We support and even I acknowledged. If they're doing it again I would go. I even emailed them once asking when are they gonna do it again but sadly no reply. So I do it for myself and other people like me to do in Putrajaya. What do you care? You don't even give a damn. :)

Excuse me for being such an asshole, but, I think a Critical Mass does not BREAK any rule. Massers who are not discipline in the Mass break the rules.

Dumb massers will conquer the whole damn roads while smart massers will stop at traffic lights and obey. A smart group of massers will be lead by one or two other massers, who will stop the traffice momentarily for the whole group to go. This is to avoid accidents. Mind you if a dumb masser trying to be cocky and block the whole lane for his own bike "ego" then it might lead to a very sad accident.

Dumb masser = smart ass = dumb masser.

For me, it's up to the bike culture in a country. Please don't compare us Malaysians with the culture in New York or San Francisco. And you know what, in Budapest, 70 000 massers wear helmets. If it's to me, I would rather put my helmet on. I'm scared shitless. Me, safety first.
I don't care I don't break any rules. I take risk but I would do it carefully.

To you a Critical Mass is about the awareness. Awareness of what?

To me and to those who ride along with me, is to have fun and make people enjoy cycling. To laugh, to know more about our friends and to make new friends. People have come from Mantin, Gombak, Subang, etc. all the way, just for the sake of a plain cycling fun. I'm doing this for the awareness of cycling is good. And it will do us good. :) Now that's my advocacy, fight for the right that cycling is great. How many times you tell your colleagues to go cycling with you and they said "Apa kelas naik basikal?"

So please don't judge Putrajaya Critical Mass or the riders who ride in the mass.
They're a cool, great bunch.
They ride MTBs, roads, tandems, and trikes.
People from college students till orang dah beranak pinak, siap ajak anak beranak kayuh joined the Putrajaya Critical Mass.
Newly weds also came.
If that is not cool enough for you, judge me.
See, if I give a damn. :)
