While I still have the chance, I'm taking the blue line down to Long Beach tomorrow around 3:30 and going to ride around the LBC for a while for the hell of it.
Anyone down for some laps around the traffic circle????

Be careful on that circle. Strength in numbers.

precisely the reason why I want peeps to accompany me!!
Oh man it would be sooo bad ass if there was enough ridazz to just take the whole circle over so no cars could get in ya know?? haha...I wonder if that's been done before

After my experience with the LBPD during the Sins and Sprockets ride, I don't think I'd mess with them again.

On a Long Beach Critical Mass ride last winter, we circled the circle 3 times.
That was some of the most fun I've had on a bike.
No cops in sight, but I can vouch for their animosity toward cycists from other times.

awww man I was living there last year!! I am so lame I missed it. That was when I was still riding strictly dirt, though.
When does the LBCM usually take place?

Last Friday of the month.
I haven't seen it posted for a while, so not sure if its still going on.

dude i live just down the street from traffic circle! 3:30 is a busy time though, even if I didn't have work I'd wouldn't try it at peak traffic hours. FUNNY STORY, the guy who designed the circle died in a traffic circle accident and he was in a car! now imagine a bike. BE SAFE

Ironic!
and yeah I already thought about that. I won't get down there until about 5...and that's definitely not the time to do it. I'm going to hit it on the way back ....I was pretty good at it when I had my truck so I think I can handle. I'd only do it if its not too busy anyway.

I'm down to lead a ride to that area on a really, extremely, dead day!!!
What say we get all the peeps to meet up with LBC and CSULB peeps and try to pull this off with little "authority" involvement?
I say it's possible as long as no toes are stepped on.
