Cleveland Critical Mass, the largest urban bike ride the city has ever seen!
August 22nd, 2010 | Published in Cleveland
The Cleveland 20s and 30s Group
Every month the Cleveland Critical Mass takes place on the last Friday of every month. Last month had 250 people attend. The youtube video was amazing and the group looked to have owned the streets for the night. It was to my dismay I had to cancel 20′s and 30′s meetup to join them the last 2 times. However, this time around I am committed to helping add as many bikers to the mix as humanly possible.
Critical Mass is an international phenomenon, and we join over 300 cities throughout the world in having a gigantic, entirely grassroots campaign the last Friday of every month. The general purpose of Critical Mass is to assert cyclists right to the road; promote bikes as a fun, healthy and viable alternative to cars; build a greater sense of community; to motivate and inspire more people to ride bicycles; or, simply celebrate bike love and ride in solidarity with other like-minded individuals and have some fun.
We in Cleveland meet at 6pm at Public Square (in the quadrant nearest to Tower City Center) for socializing, then depart promptly at 6:30pm rain or shine. There are no leaders and no agenda, and the route is largely improvised. We do our best to obey traffic laws and respect all motorists and non-motorists alike. The ride is moderately paced and generally lasts between ten and fifteen miles. We generally plan to meet at a predetermined local establishment at approximately 8 or 8:30pm for food, drink, and socializing.
Cleveland Critical Mass has attracted as many as 250 bicyclists from all walks of life, and we are continuing to grow each month.
