Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Did an alleycat today

Drunk as s*** right now. I won some ugly camo bar tape, an ugly lime green chain, and some socks.


Sick story brah.

I did my first critical mass last night. We pissed a lot of motorists off.

There was c ritical mass today too but I didn't go. ef that noise. Most of them don't even care about bicycling, at least here in podunk.

Are you from Modesto...

No, Vancouver BC. Was there mass in Modesto last night as well?

Yeah there was. I didn't go, but I was getting calls from people telling me "You better not be in the group of ****heads weaving through traffic, blowing through lights and spitting on cars."

:lol:

We weren't like that at all, by pissing them off, I meant we basically took over the whole lane and cars were stuck behind us.

Well then you're golden :) I mean, if there's no bike lane we get the car lanes right? But yeah, apparently here was a guy in the group who was being an idiot, and all the little middle school kids just decided that they were going to try to be cool too. The group actually got pulled over once or twice because so many people were calling the cops about them. My friends (the ones who see Critical Mass as a way to get people to become more bike aware) rode off in a different directions, but the other groups kept following them. I'm actually sort of glad I didn't go.

Mob mentality at work.

middle schoolers at critical mass?

of course.

middle schoolers at critical mass?

of course.

Surprised you haven't seen it. I see 12 year olds at Crankmob down here.

I once left a CM ride to go home and the whole ride followed me. Hey, thats CM there is no route

We had cops along the way, so we can't really do anything too extreme. Yea, masses generally doesn't give a good impression to other people but it is a way to raise awareness about it. I'm not going to go any further...don't want to cause a commotion.

I'm drunk passing out Halloween candy...you know, critical matters.

I went to a critical mass ride last night for the first time, with 16 people... We still pissed a lot of people off though!

We don't really have CM here.

We have the Tuesday Night Community Bike Ride. Usually around 300 people show up, every tuesday.

Yeah, 300 people counts as critical mass. Y'all get out to the hills, gates pass stylee, or stick to the city?

Uh oh, was it me?

Do we really need to raise awareness when we're spending millions on bike lanes?
I think Vancouverites are pretty aware.

Actually...I agree with you, Aaron. Come to think of it, I don't know if I want to go to the next one, I'm quite content with what we have right now.

Critical Mass is just the worst.

What the **** this thread was supposed to be about my goddamn alleycat race not stupid-****ing CM. jesus.


By the way I am way more drunk now. Happy halloween!

Oh yeah, congrats on winning ugly bartape and socks and stuff. Did someone buy you a waamburger and french cries too? Hope you got a whineken with that... Speaking of beer I've been drinking moosedrool all night! The Zoo rocks!

You mean the one you didn't really talk about, so everyone began talking about something else? :lol:

I'll bet the OP will wake up today with a heck of a hangover.

I raced in an alleycat yesterday too.

After the second checkpoint my NDS crank arm fell off and the bolt was long gone, so I pedaled 7 miles off the course to my apartment with one leg on a 44x14 single speed mountainbike, switched bikes, and finished the race. Not DFL.
