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

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.

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

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.
