Critical Mass

Critical Mass gets the summer/spring season off to a slaming good time

Critical Mass started off as a leisurely bike ride in baltimore. Then, a car decided not to share the road with the bikers and hit one rider, bending his rear wheel.

After the police showed up to do some in-depth special police work, another accident occurred when a pick-up truck avoided the bike/car accident and hit a van with its flat bed extension. The van got a flat tire. So the lesson learned today... share the road with people on bikes, or just get out of your car and ride, ride, ride. No cars, No car accidents!

Some Actions Were Lame

Just have to say that the acts of rideing by people and saying "fuck you!", calling them "bitch" and various other names, was a bit out of line. Plus, the whole incident with the car who hit the bike, that was a bit much as well. We aren't there to instigate stuff or terrorize people, we are there to do our stuff, fuck up traffic for a bit, get our point across, and move on till next time. If Baltimore Critical Mass continues to be a bunch of drunken bored people looking for a fight, I dont believe I will be joining in much anymore.
 

Re: Critical Mass

In reaction to a police action July 25, I'd like to learn of the applicable traffic laws, i.e., minimum required speed, riding across all lanes, etc.
So what could the cop have arrested us for? Moving as slow as old people?
I do plan to approach the mayor and police chief about these ideas.
 

Re: Critical Mass

I laughed as I took off after nosing my way around a recent bike ride. Only trust fund babies with nothing better to try and bring justice to do crap like CM. One question: What is it that you actually stand for!?!
 

Re: Re: Critical Mass

Dear "Workingman",

Only a "trust-fund" baby would have no support for the little guy trying to stand up to the machine. I work in construction and I also ride my bike to work. I am also fed up with dicks like you. I highly doubt that you are much of a "workingman" if you transport your fat lazy blob of a body around in an automobile, way above the ranks of the true workingmen like myself. You are probably one of those desk jockeys from the suburbs who grew up with everything handed to them and therefore can not understand why anyone would have any reason to stand up for a cause. The "cause" you dimwit is to make Baltimore more biker friendly so us "workingmen" (and women) who ride bikes to work can do so safely and not have to worry about assholes like you who are swerving all over the road and not paying attention to pedestrians and bicyclists because you just spilled a McGriddle on your lap. I have never done a CM ride, but am tempted to do one just so I have the pleasure of running in to you and knocking your fucking teeth in.
