Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Any Hyde Park(ers) for Chicago Critical Mass?

Anyone going up from Hyde Park to the Critical Mass tomorrow? Anyone interested in riding up (Drexel, Cottage Grove, King Drive, et al) together? You know the north side is getting their act together to meet up and ride into downtown. Can we get anyone down here massed up to ride together? We could meet up on the University of Chicago campus, in the center of the main quadrangle, and ride from there (maybe around 4:30 or 4:45). I think the mass kicks off around 5 or 5:30. Post here and let me know!

As long as you arrive by 6, you're fine.

Hey,

I may be interested. I work at the hospital and was thinking of skipping out early and heading up. are you a UC student? I used to live in hyde park, but the only way I would ever head downtown is on the lake shore bike path, but street riding is always more fun. What route were you thinking if taking?

I guess that means you aren't taking the monster cruiser
