Happy (almost) Friday! Last month’s beach ride got a little wet, so this month we’re giving it another go and ending at Bradford. Per tradition for August we’ll also have a “back to school” theme and roll through all the centrally located college campuses.
- Friday, August 28
- Meet starting at 5:30 p.m. at Red Arrow Park
- Roll out at 6 p.m.
- End point: Bradford Beach
Critical Mass is a (fun!) socially-paced ride (about 10 mph or less). We ride to be in community with other bicyclists/skaters/scooterers/etc, provide safety in numbers, and demand safe transportation infrastructure for all.
You are welcome to leave the ride when you’d like, but as a "no drop" ride, we don’t leave anyone behind because of speed. (We may not be able to stop the group in case of mechanical issues, though.)
The starting point at Red Arrow is accessible by transit:
- MCTS lines that come within a few blocks: Green, CN1, 14, 15, 18, 19, 30, 33, 57
- The Hop streetcar (City Hall or Cathedral Square stops)
- There's also a Bublr station at Water and Kilbourn
We hope that over time, folks will make connections with people from their neighborhoods and can organize smaller groups to ride together to the starting point. If anyone is interested in organizing a bike bus from their neighborhood to Red Arrow, let us know!
