LOS ANGELES CRITICAL MASS

LACM is the largest bicyle ride in the City of Los Angeles. It rides the last Friday of
every month.

The next LA Critical Mass ride is the last Friday of the month, March 30, 2012.

MEET AT WILSHIRE Blvd AND WESTERN Ave AT 6:30 PM

ROLLING AT: 7:29 PM

Discover new parts of Los Angeles, meet others, and have fun with a purpose.

The mission of Los Angeles Critical Mass is to organize and promote the fun of bicycling and to
encourage cycling as a leisure activity, as a sport or as a means of transportation.

LA Critical Mass is inclusive, not-for-profit, a-political and non-religious--in short,
independent and welcoming to all bicyclists!

If you're new to Critical Mass Los Angeles, you'll find that choosing to ride offers riders
regardless of age, type of bike or level of skill an opportunity to have FUN, meet others, and join
with others encouraging more to ride a bicycle.

The largest bicycle ride in the great City of Los Angeles, delivers a positive experience to join
with thousands of others, who also are empowered by the joy of riding their bicycle throughout the
city.

Thousands of cyclists ride together, including a Los Angeles Police Department Officer presence
on both bicycles and motorcycles. Over 20% of riders are women. A perfect opportunity to ride the
streets of LA at night with a large group of friendly and like-minded cyclists!

Riders meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Purple Line Metro Station, NE corner of Western Avenue and
Wilshire Blvd and the ride rolls at 7:29pm.

Los Angeles Critical Mass routes vary each month and typically end around Midnight. Endpoint of
LACM rides is Sunset Blvd. and Western Avenue, which is very convenient to an open Metro Red Line
Station.

Automobile parking is also available near the start and end points. With speeds of around 8-10
mph, gradual elevation (if any), and a typical distance of around 30 miles, rides are friendly
celebratory experiences.

Slower than most rides the spirit of inclusiveness enables riders of all ages and skill levels to
participate, on any type of bicycle. Riding together en mass, riders enjoy a leisurely pace
conducive to a rolling conversation and encourage bicycling as a leisure activity, as a sport or as a means of
transportation.
Some enjoy the ride as an urban date night, others as an opportunity to meet new people or enjoy tim
e with their friends and family members.

There are always at least two brief stops, sometimes more. Stops usually have bathrooms and
food on premises or nearby. Snacks, Water, Spoke Cards, Tubes are available from the Ride Support
Vehicle at stops. It is always a good idea on all rides to bring a helmet, lights, something to eat,
drink, and in case of flat: (tube, levers, pump, patch kit).

All riders taking Metro bus or rail should verify the times for their connections to ensure they
arrive at a station timely. Unfortunately Metro Rail Trains last departures are normally before the
end time of the ride.
