Critical Mass

Tonight my friend Marty and I rode critical mass. The last Friday of every month, in nearly every major western city in the world there is a critical mass bike ride. Critical mass is where large groups of people meet on bikes in a central place and claim the streets to bring bicycle awareness and also alternative means of transportation. Tonight some people rode to remember the cyclist who was hit and killed by a truck in Seattle just a couple of weeks ago.

There were approx. 400 people riding tonight. We rode for 1 1/2 hours from downtown. We went west on 15th to Ballard, then up Leary to Freemont. From there we went up Stone to Revena and down Revena to University Ave. Finally we headed over to Gas Works Park to end. It was a great night. It was fun to ride with all those people. It was good to see my friend Bubba and all the friends he has made in the bike community and it was fun to ride with Marty.

Thanks Seattle.
