Last week Time’s Up! had their annual Ides (Pies) of March Ride, in which the environmental activist group uses clownish theatrics to protest issues such as police brutality and blocked bike lanes. This year the ride was renamed the “OCCU-Pies of March” ride, and had a special emphasis on Manhattan’s banks, with cyclist-activists riding bike-powered police cars and limos to local financial institutions. Here’s video of the extremely goofy street theater, which culminated in a pie fight at Astor Place:

Changing the world, one awkwardly earnest video at a time!
