TitusTi Posted March 24, 2009 Share You all know what time it is!<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />That?s right it?s hammer time! Well, kinda, it?s actually Critical Mass time.When: This coming Friday the 27th of March 2009.Where: There are 2 meeting points, Point A being at the Baxter at 06:45, and Point B being at the CTICC at 07:15.How:Well, we ride our bikes from the Baxter go over the Mowbray bridge (Durban Road) then hook along Liesbeek Parkway into Lower Main road into town. Then we head down Adderley street until we get to the turn off for the CTICC, pick up the troops and continue our March through the waterfront, out the other side onto Beach road all the way to the border of Sea Point, then we head back into town along Main road Green Point and then all head off to work.It got going like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_MassAnd here we are on the international list: http://criticalmass.wikia.com/wiki/Cape_TownWhy:Hmm, always the interesting question. Essentially what we?re hoping to achieve is to educate drivers that there is viable way to commute to work and that they don?t have to sit in their cars and be miserable all the way through to work. So, in this regard, we wear what we?re going to be wearing at work. Pretty simple idea, ?eh? Also hopefully this helps get us on the radar for Southern Suburbs transport system, at this point there is a proposed cycling corridor from the North but not from the South.Who:Well, everyone, if you ride a bike it should be your duty to be there, if you want to make at least some sort of difference, even if it?s not huge at least it?s a start, it creates debate and it allows us to educate others that what we do is not only practical and better but pretty bloody cool to.Right then, see you all on Friday then?Send this out to anyone and everyone, whether they care or not.

droo Posted March 27, 2009 Share Nice cellphone action shots there Titus! Think I'm going to have to speak to a photographer mate of mine for the next one, he's got one of those knuckle things that attaches his camera to his bike. I've seen some legend action shots from it. We'll just have to make sure Toby brings that contraption of his along too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
