It is a struggle of attrition. Every month we ride, we weaken they're resolve. Santa Monica will become green and bike friendly...we will ensure it. One day cars will be replaced by bicycles on Broadway and those who opposed us will realize we were right.
There isn't really a map distributed prior to the ride. Alex and his associates out there in SM usually come up with a loose ride route, which is then used as a guideline at ride time.
Hope your healing well and we'll see you in about five weeks.

It's way looser than that. A couple of times we came up with an idea for a direction or route out of the city . . . and then lobbyed for it pre-ride. Then we took a vote . . . I think we were 2-1 on winning the vote.
Lately all the ride does is choose a direction at the start by shout. Then the people at the front make decisions by consensus, as is typical of Critical Mass = consensus tyranny of the front. Some people call this "leaderless" - especially Sexy.
Thanks Alex. It's like the Wizard of Oz, everyone thought the process was bigger and more complicated instead of looking at the man behind the curtain and realizing it is quite simple.
I can't guarantee that I will be off of work in time to make the meeting point (I will certainly try), but I'm in hopes that I will be able to meet up with the group somewhere along the way!
Chances are though, I will be attending. I love this shit.
hey was wondering if someone who's riding would mind sending me a number to reach them at in order to obtain the current location of the ride, in case I don't arrive in time for the start. thanks
Lets see AFTER we finally left the lameness of our police escort of paranoia the night became awesome....BUT YET there is soooo much night left. I decree that these CRITICAL Masses must maintain the Critical mass much longer!!!!
