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

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.

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.

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.
