skidd Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Hi there! Welcome to the hub Critical Mass is a group ride from Dunkeld to the centre of town. It's a night ride. It has over 60 participants. It's a fun ride, not a race (perfect for me )Here's the facebook group http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/18066062816/
Stiglitz86 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Stupid question - What are the general rules of joining this ride an the basics to bring other then you choice of ride. ie. Helmuts(are they a must for a slow casual ride), lights? Anything else?

Helmuts(are they a must for a slow casual ride), lights? Anything else?The point of this ride is that there are no rules really. Remember, we are in a big group, and the effects on traffic are surprising, but we are riding in Joburg on a Friday night, we are guaranteed to encounter some nutcases, so I would say you would be silly to ever ride in Joburg without a helmet, and you would be silly to ever ride in Joburg at night without some kind of light
Stiglitz86 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 @ Skidd - Thanks for the reply. Sorry for Noob question.
skidd Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 @ Skidd - Thanks for the reply. Sorry for Noob question. No sweat, look forward to meeting you there. It really must be experienced!
Stiglitz86 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Ok I will be there like bear with my R150.00 head as my ordered helmut is only landing next month. Will most likely be chasing from the back as I am so cycling unfit its not even funny. See you Ladys and Gentlemen on friday night. Hopefully someone has a radio for us so we can listen to the Sharks vs pink bulls rugby game while we cyclye....
RockCoach Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Might join for the ride tonight.Cool. Will be a bunch of guys we know there tonight.
LeTurbo Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Ah sh*t! I just realised I missed the ride this morning in Cape Town. Damn, one less croissant and cup of coffee for the day.
patches Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 As far as I know, myself and Peach are in. We're trying to decide bewteen the most impractical bikes we own, to use for tonight
skidd Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Its going to be the best attended one yet tonight, route quite a bit shorter than last month, get there tonight!
Agteros Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Cannot get into the FB group page. Any details please? Time, venue?
Bonus Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 We're off to the coast tonight :-( Will watch out for the next one though. Went to a few in London . . . . great fun.
Stiglitz86 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 What's the cost for parking? Month end and abit broke. Plus my light broke, can I still join lightless?
Thug Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 My first Critical Mass and I was impressed with the turnout of around 80 cyclists. All shapes and sizes from downhill, all mountain, xc, tandem, road, single speeds and fixies. Those fixies were mighty impressive, time to consider adding one to my collection.
patches Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 It was also my first critical mass. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm definitely going to try attend every month!
