Aren't you tired of driving your car, or taking the Red Line to a ridazz event or another Crit Mass ride?
There's nothing on TV Tuesday nites, you need the exercise anyway.
Your friends already think you're either awesome, stupid or a hipster because you're so into riding your bike around, prove them right, show up for the Valley Critical Mass!
Its not a political statement mascquerading as a bike ride, nor is it a bike ride faking like its going to change the world. Its just a stupid ride with a bunch of bike riding fools showing the valley that people ride bikes in the valley too.
Ride what ya brung, self-propelled, no pretenses, no rider left behind, all ages welcome. Have fun on a Tuesday nite for a change.
I go to these rides and I always wonder why others are here as well. I've been riding the Pedal&PubCrawl since the end of Bike Summer, been riding CruzwithUs since it started last spring. The only two rides in the valley aside from roadie type club rides that I know of. But as I listened to (I'm not much of a social butterfly type) the comments some others were making about those two rides, from people I've never seen attend the rides, (ok I missed the Aug. cruzwithus) it baffled me. I guess I'm just not a people person. Its funny, there's only a couple of other people that attend both valley rides and I've never seen the people who attend the critical mass. And I know, that there's even more people out there that attend once and never again, why?
I'm beginning to wonder why I go to group rides.
Anyway, after I peeled off to go home, I pedaled along thinking about group rides and why people attend. I usually ride about 3-4ft from the curb, and as I stopped for a light, propped up at the curb, this guy in a big ol' hummer pulls up next to me about to turn right. We nod at each other, say hey man etc. Then just before he takes off he says, "You know you were taking up the whole road" I about laughed my head off right there. People are strange.
I'll be there as usual... I got called a dick head by a guy in a monster truck last month. Man, that's like a black fly in your chardonnay... a little too ironic.
