LeTurbo Posted April 5, 2012 Share "The brain child of Daniel Graham (@Cpt.Grimmy) the #moonlightmass is a casual night bicycle ride starting at the Green Point Circle on a full moon once a month. Started as a social experiment on twitter the ride has been gaining popularity and on our last ride we had about 140 riders raising awareness for cycling safety." It's on tonight, 5 April, at Greenpoint circle, at 21:00 - 21:15. Lycra unnecessary.

flymango Posted April 5, 2012 Share Great initiative it seems. Do all the participants to wear helmets and have front and back lights to drive the safety message home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Potgieter Posted April 5, 2012 Share I like the idea, but as Mango says, its for cycling safety and most of the pics in the link show no lights or helmets.Maybe as it gains popularity this will become more of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted April 5, 2012 Share I'm busy negotiating with the Domestic Authorities to let me out of a dinner arrangement early, I hope you know how many times I'm going to be forced to go shopping if she OKs this very tempting ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted April 5, 2012 Share what's the route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeTurbo Posted April 5, 2012 Share what's the route? To tell the truth, I haven't been on yet. I think it's through Greenpoint, up Long Street ... from there, I'm not sure. I'm guessing maybe back down Loop and through the Waterfront onto Beach Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flymango Posted April 5, 2012 Share Flymango: the eternal optimist. I'll take that as a compliment, thanks. But I do think if the aim is to raise awareness for cycling safety, then cyclists need to be wearing helmets and be visible (at night). To re-iterate, it's a great initiative. mikkelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
