hate to bring up scars but
I think it is a very interesting topic
of this U-turn that happened in May
how it was upsetting and symbolic for some
betrayal of fitting-in
blocking of traffic???
bad neighbours?
so enjoyable for me and for many
why this u-turn in perticular?
not last years' 1000 wheel u-turn so bad?
people say now, but back then there was no complaining.
May was the last straw?
The usual issue of Mass:
May we had just enough to take the LGB
the LGB REQUIRES several hundred
june 2005 we had perhaps 4x more... 1200 not 300
would have been at least twice as slow, or 4 times arithmetically
still of course it wasn't a problem then, but - in may it was
if it is a big enough mass then it is OK
if the mass is just barely enough the tension is... maybe it is too small
cars could break through maybe maybe?
Several descriptions from those who feared the upcoming U-turn
spoke of the gap in time of turning around and
not knowing what to do
10 or? 20 minutes on a bridge
not knowing what was going on
not knowing who was in charge
wonder wonder wonder?
where are we going?
what are we doing?
who are we?
magical wonderful!
the empty space of unknowing. the potential. the magic moment as the acrobat on the flying trapeze lets go of one bar and sails through the air, to hope, to have faith that she will be caught by the other trapezist. the moment of potential. The moment of danger. Extreme danger. up or down? either way. Totally uncertain. fall to the ground. break my neck. broken bridge
I like that moment.
it is dangerous.
some fear the moment. they do not want that space. too many people! too many not knowing? what about a mob? what about a riot? danger danger stranger! who are we? where are we going? what are we here for? wonder wonder wonder. violent uncertainty
murmer murmer isn't murder. Asking each other: dew you know where? I think this way or maybe maybe.
The loss for the self deluding "leaders." we never got to wonder. already know that. ok, turn around. repeated repeated. This will take 10 minutes. 1200 people. 120 people/minute. how fast does traffic go?
All traffic is a circle. U-turn at both ends. Where are we going too? transportation commuter. that cliched narrative: the hero goes somewhere and then finds - to return home - is where he was looking for. must leave here to know here. must come back after leaving. all cars go in circles. all bikes are circles. we are people of the habit
stranger danger stranger danger,
someone must be in charge. do you know who?
is that a theological question?
mass mass mass
what a religion
anarchy exploding
bicycles neverending.
there are more bicycles in the world than there are cars
there will be more bicycles in the world than there are cars
hmmm
I like to
ride with you too
i think that
we can work it out
which way are we going?
is not decided, yet.
