As a cyclist I want nothing to do with these attention seeking loons.
The best way to deal with these loons is for the Police to handcuff them in a circle, direct traffic away and leave them.
Motorists sounding horns and trying to remove them is exactly what these temper tantrum throwing, attention seeking children want.

Let's face it, all they want is attention and they suffer from bandwagonitis. Just ignore them, let them have their silly protests and they will get bored.
