Critical Mass #5

[TitusTi]

Hello to the fine posse of activist reprobates.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

A new year has dawned and the fight against the evils of modern society must continue, the infidels must learn (I?m wondering if the CIA spy ware will flag this and we?ll get a decent escort for our ride?).

Anyway, you all know what it?s about if not check it out here: http://www.critical-mass.org/ and here http://criticalmass.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_rides

Date for the next one is set at 30 Jan 2009 (aka. This Friday).

There are 2 meeting points: 6:40 (AM) at the Baxter and 7:15 (AM) at the CTICC, early, I know but I have a job I need to ride to as do a few others.

Normal ride plans: 6:45 departure from Baxter, ride down to Liesbeek and along Lower Main into town and to the CTICC, pick up the town side mass?ers and head through the Waterfront, along Beach road to Sea Point at Glengarriff we head up to Green Point Main road and back from where we can all scatter to our various places of employment. Some peeps may stop for coffee at Miss K (large outside area for the bikes).

We?re gathering a bit of a following which in time will attract more attention (some good, some bad) so I?m gonna have to ask the boys to try and obey the laws of the road most importantly the stopping at lights thing and also to try and keep the group a bit tighter, spread out along the road isn?t what we?re after we want a nice tight mass.

Another thing, dress code, no racing lycra unless it?s super nasty and super retro!

What bike to bring? Bring the bike you?ll ride, that?s it.

Now, homework, everyone bring as many people as you can!

See you all Friday.

Yip, bright and early, be good to get another decent turnout, think the fixie fiends will probably pitch, not so sure about the roadies, they seem more intent on moaning about it than doing anything, oh well, apathy is a wonderful thing.

They normally end up on www.thedailyfix.co.za but will try to get some up here as well.

Later.

The obligatory late afternoon bump.

See you all in the morning.

Had a nice CM ride this morning, about 25-30 people, slightly down on the numbers from last year but hopefully we can get the people interested again. Will post pics when I have 'em.

Great pics! And some flippen sweet bikes! Good to show you don't have to dress in branded Lycra to ride a bike. Keep the momentum guys, let's hope it becomes infectious...
