Guilt Free Thursday: Strike Bikes

An important figure in the cycling media recently mocked us for saying that this site was anti-capitalist. But it's true -- we once looked at the pictures on the Wikipedia page for Noam Chomsky. To prove our alliances are entirely moral, here's Strike Bikes! They're a group of striking workers who occupied their factory and have resumed production of bicycles to make their own microcosmic socialist paradise. You can buy them online, or you can be A FUCKING SCAB and buy a Trek or whatever. Related news article / The Strike Bike itself.
It all sounds a lot like the plot of a Ken Loach film. Maybe even a Sergei Eisenstein film, but then you'd have to understand that footage of a horse followed by footage of a rolling wheel is supposed to imply a bicycle.
