I moved here from the midwest and compared to the hot, humid summers and bitterly cold winters a little rain is nothing. Big props to all of you 3 pairs of gloves wearin' studded tire types out there.

yeah i know, but the thing is.. i've never been to one. and i was hoping to hear some 411 from here about it.. so i can actually know where to go and find these ppl.
last critical mass, tons of ppl posted stuff on here about it. so i'd assume that at least 30% of the participants are from BF.

what, i dont look like mike tyson?
haha yeah...critical mass was uhh interesting tonight. i pretty much finished off the new tire i just put on last weekend with all the hills and lombard stuff.
it was definitely not fixed friendly tonight with all those steep grade downhills up in russian hill.
and the pricks throwing the firecrackers into the crowd early on were pretty lame.
CM gets a big 'mehh' from me.
