Revenge sound sweet? Sign up here!

So serene?

How many times today has your life been threatened by a car driver?

How many times today have you been knocked off, cut up, forced into the gutter; denied your rights as a road user?

How many times today have you felt threatened, unsafe, or frightened?

How many times today have you been victimised because you ride a bike?

How many times today has a car driver wound down his window (it’s always men) and shouted personal abuse at you?

Do you feel abandoned by the law?

When do you think you’ll be ready to fight back?

I’ve chosen my language very carefully. I don’t ever want to underestimate the threat of an idiot in control of 2 tons of metal. He’s a threat; he’s aggressive; he’s violent. I’ve felt the same for 45 years on a bike. Enough! Basta ya! I’m not feeling very Ghandian just now. I want revenge.

So here’s what we can do. Cometh the hour, cometh the helmet webcam; cometh the hour, cometh the mobile fone with camera and video facility; cometh the hour, cometh the Social Network. So next time fight back.

How?

Simple:

1.     Get a foto/fotos/video of the vehicle and make sure you get the number plate.

2.     Make an official complaint to the Police.

3.     Email a report of the incident with evidence to:
revengeridersoftheredmist@gmail.com  
and I'll post it up here and on Facebook

What else can we do?

1.     Get organised; make a list of the guilty; name and shame.

2.     Target repeat offenders for mass protests.

3.     Demand proper sentences for guilty drivers.

4.     Join critical mass and other popular protests.
