Critical Mass bike ride - Friday, November 30.
Critical Mass is a regular, semi-organized mass bike ride through the
city.
The idea is to get more people on bikes, to raise drivers' awareness of
bikes, and promote camaraderie and networking on two wheels!
We'll meet at 3pm at the NW corner of the Expocentre parking lot (17th
and
Western), then head to 21st and go West. At Fairlawn, we'll head North,
then East on Huntoon, then back to Western and back to the Expo.
Bring helmets, warm clothes, gear, and lights.
