Whatever I like in this space, it's my profile.
As every last Friday of the month, it's critical mass in San Francisco, but the October one is always more special than other Critical masses due to Halloween and costumed Riders. There were lots of superheros in attendance. San Francisco batman is green as ever with his feet powered bat mobile :)
I was walking in Buenos Aires today and I stumbled upon the monthly Buenos Aires Critical mass event (Massa Critical Buenos Aires) - where many bicyclists gather together as a critical mass and cycle the city as a group. I used to that every month in San Francisco. I so wish I had a bicycle here to be able to join the Critical Mass. It would have been a perfect way to see the city.
Every last Friday of the month, there's a critical mass event in San Francisco. Many cyclists gather by and we just mass cycle throughout the city. Lots of fun and good exercise (but many angry motorists) at the blocked traffic and all.
Last week, I did the critical mass bike ride (http://critical-mass.info/) for the first time. It is a mass bike ride where many cyclists just get together and take over the streets. They do it every last Friday of the month in San Francisco. It starts about 6p.m and goes on for however many miles you can ride :) There were about maybe some 200 cyclists or so that gathered at the Ferry Plaza on the Embarcadero and it was fun ride. I tracked the course with my garmin watch. Check out the route we took. Press the play to re-run the entire route. http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/player/6100924 more dashboard info : http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/6100924
The hardest part of the entire ride, was when I had to ride back home on my own. The adrenaline rush from the group setting was finished and my legs were like jello, but I still managed to get drag the bike back home. I plan to do it every month now.
