Description: A monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road.
I feel compelled to write a review as a photo of me participating in last week's critical mass is posted here. The idea of participating in critical mass has appealed to me for months, no, actually years. I first heard of it at a friend's party, and then saw it live in action coming down Polk Street while I was grocery shopping one Friday evening. What appealed to me was the somewhat organic and unorganized nature of the event. The energy that I saw and experienced was celebratory and freeing. It's also a great way to connect with your local community and friends while exploring the city on your bike and not have to worry about traffic lights, directions, crazy drivers. The veterans have this thing down, giving the right of way to public transport and traffic controlling intersections for the safety of both the driver and riders.
Such a cool, easy green event - all levels of bike riding welcome!
