    Critical Mass Bike Ride

    Anyone here do any of these rides? I did one last month for the first time. It was great. A 15 mile ride around Downtown Miami area. I believe they have these all over the world.

    Re: Critical Mass Bike Ride

    Are these the rides that are out to try and improve biking access in major cities? It sounds like the same name as a group that has carried out demonstrations in downtown Vancouver in the past.
    It is only the cynic who claims “to speak the truth” at all times and in all places to all men in the same way, but who, in fact, displays nothing but a lifeless image of the truth… He dons the halo of the fanatical devotee of truth who can make no allowance for human weaknesses; but, in fact, he is destroying the living truth between men. He wounds shame, desecrates mystery, breaks confidence, betrays the community in which he lives, and laughs arrogantly at the devastation he has wrought and at the human weakness which “cannot bear the truth”.

    Wow good for you. I haven't been on a bike in a zillion years. To ride that distance is quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!!

    Not sure if they have an agenda honestly. I just like the fact that I get to ride with a big group. And no one is really shouting anything or protesting. At least from what I've seen.

    Re: Critical Mass Bike Ride

    I did my second Critical Mass Ride this past Friday. It was a blast. But my favorite part was when one of the guys I was riding with asked me if I had been riding since the last Ride. I said yes. He said last time we had to wait for you, this time, we had to catch up to you. Man that felt AWESOME!

    Well they are up here. In fact there was a letter to the editor in the local paper today from someone apologizing for a bunch of the riders behaving like jackasses.

    Here is a video someone posted from last Friday's ride. And yes Teddy, sadly there are some riders who do NOT know how to behave.
