Critical Mass in your city?
I've done it once on unicycle - here is the thread from last year with photos: http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64575 It was interesting but I do agree that it's not completely a good thing. ---Nathan -- nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/251 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63372 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I did ours on my 20 and was able to pretty much keep up the front of the pack the whole way. -- mill_mobile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mill_mobile's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14584 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63372 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I find these obnoxious. The last one I saw here took over a 50mph road that is the only passage for several miles between the mainland and the beach, and the only access period to a popular state park. Not in the bike lane, either, (there is one on that road) but bikes clogging three lanes at 10mph. -- Tak "Unicycling goes against common sense." --maestro8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tak's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17247 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63372 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I think it's irresponsible to do things in a way where the main goal is to disrupt other people. It should be done in a way that gets a large amount of exposure, but not one that pretty much acts to taunt drivers by causing problems. -- disgruntleddave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ disgruntleddave's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17938 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63372 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Sounds like a bunch of assholes to me. I wouldn't be caught dead riding in something like that. There have been times where running over some asshole cyclist who thinks that he/she belongs in the center of the road has crossed my mind, but the manslaughter charge that will inevitably follow keeps me from pursuing his/her death. I could only imagine how angry I'd be if there were a horde of cyclists in front of me on my 15 mile ride to work. I do recall one time seeing what must have been at least 50 cyclists who had come in from Phoenix and stopped to take a break at the corner store in my town. After their break, they all proceeded towards the 15 mile stretch from my town to Prescott. I was so, so happy that I had the day off from work. -- iAmVincent The only way to comprehend what mathematicians mean by Infinity is to contemplate the extent of human stupidity. ~Voltaire ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iAmVincent's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16686 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63372 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Yeah, because the 10 seconds it costs you to wait for a safe place to pass is definitely worth killing someone over, not to mention raising your blood pressure. -- tholub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63372 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

This isn't a typical road; there are very few safe places to pass. A couple of times I had to drive for a few miles behind one of them before I was finally able to pass. Even though I guess it really isn't a big deal when put into perspective, I still find it extremely rude to ride your bike in the middle of my lane when I need to get to work, dammit! -- iAmVincent The only way to comprehend what mathematicians mean by Infinity is to contemplate the extent of human stupidity. ~Voltaire ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iAmVincent's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16686 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63372 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
