This one feels more useless. At least when protesters block a pipeline, it's obvious what their cause is. These people today stopping traffic on bridges to protest governments doing more to stop climate change? What exactly is it that they want people to do? Stop driving? Why are they blocking cyclists then? They have no clear message. This is vague, like the occupy movement that was protesting what...other people being rich?
Lots of people are concerned about climate change and the need to reduce emissions. Stopping them on a bridge, forcing them to idle their cars and be late for work is not the best way to gain support or form camaraderie.
This was just a stupid stunt to get their name out there.
