The match is undecided, but do you think the strategy of nonviolence
practiced by Jesus, which led to the crucifiction, is still valid or
we should rather use firmer action such as bike rides to claim our
space on the road?

I wonder who wins in that match...

Cars.

It was tried in Seattle and now, thanks in part to the backlash,
cyclists are losing bike paths.

That's pretty dumb. You'd think as part of the backlash there would be
MORE bike paths to keep cyclists and motorists separate.

We have been adding paths in Mass. Some actually function to bring people
from point a to point b. Most are 'scenic' rides that don't really go
anywhere...

Its happening in a few areas (Alki is one) where the residents want the real
estate back for parking, planting strips, left turn lanes. Since they've
got the cyclists conditioned to ride on the roads by painting bicycle
symbols there, the next step is to reclaim the bike path running right
alongside them.
