CRITICAL MASS BIKE RIDES RETURN TO COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 30:
All cyclists are invited to gather at 5:30 p.m. this Friday, June 30 at the Boone County Courthouse for a Critical Mass Bike Ride. Critical Mass rides raise awareness of cycling and remind motorists of the need to share the road with this sustainable mode of transport. Rides occur in hundreds of communities across the nation and around the world, usually on the last Friday of the month. For more info visit: www.critical-mass.org
This is just not something Columbia needs. Back in 96 there was a Critical Mass ride I made the mistake of going to. The only thing that came out of it was a lot of pissed off people. To be honest I would say it probably about the dumbest thing I have ever done. The ride consisted of a bunch of fucks who do nothing but complain...... I don't even think most of them were cyclists and I would guess less than 10% voted.
Columbia is a great cycling town and bends over backwards to try and promote cycling these kind of events only turn people off from cycling.
Get a clue people!
Fuck....I will have my own Anti Critical Mass Ride. My house 4:30. We will ride 2 wide and stay way from busy streets and in general not piss people off........kind of like I do everyday.
I hate fucking stupid people who go out of their way to go and fuck up other people's shit.
MY ONE DIMENSIONAL WORLD!

Very stupid idea, for motorist to like bike racers you would have to make bike racing look like nascar.
Sorry you have to be at least 18 yrs old to comment on my blog.
Critical Mass is for retarded hippies.
I am a critical mass of one.
I don't think critical mass is a good thing in CoMO, but don't you think it could be a catalyst for change in cities that are very anti-cycling? Masses have raised awareness in many large cities already. CoMO is friendly, it doens't belong here.
Brady, money talks.......people riding around in the street blocking traffic just pisses people off.
Cities that are cycling friendly all have budgets that support cycling projects. Those budgets are written because people get involved with their city in a positive mannor......that doesn't occur by people blocking traffic.
which is why we don't need one in Columbia... notice my first and last sentences.
if a city has no budget and is anti-cycling... a demonstration of just how large the cycling community is could be a good thing to get talks started. Yes... if we all wrote letters that would be better. but it's alot easier to amass 400 riders in a large city than to get 400 people to write letters. and don't even think about petitions, they don't mean shit to politicians. Not saying it's perfect, but it's not so one sided.
Sure Brady.
It is gay. Usually populated by a bunch of complaining dirty hippie neo hippie types that change flats in peoples driveways and stand around in the road to make repairs en mass as someone changes a tube...complainers that ain't got a clue. mike
I think labelling Critical Mass as "gay" gives gay a bad name.
Umm, anyone know how this hippie-homofest went??
