i'm not sure what these guys are protesting but knowing europeans as well as i do, (after all, i earned an associates degree in political science at tompkins county community college minoring in sweatshirt design) i'd wager a steak dinner it's something that involves unrealistic environmental protection at the expense of consistent economic growth. you hippy euro-trash can protest what you want but when you treat bike seats like that, you obscure your mission by the atrocities committed to your poor bicycle seats.
