Critical Manners tonight!
by Christopher Newgent | 3 COMMENTS
Forecast is looking a bit rainy, but slap a set of fenders on and you should be good to go! Tonight is the night!
Meet across from the Central Library at 5:45. Ride starts at 6.
* We’ll ride a bit slower to ensure that no one is dropped and that the Mass stays a mass.
* We’ll stop at all red lights. If a light turns red mid-mass, the riders who made it through should pull over to wait for those who were caught at the light.
* We’ll only take up one lane, at most two, if it is a major thoroughfare.
* We’ll signal our turns.
* We’ll be inclusive–sadly, cliques happen, but more than anything, CM/CM encourages cyclists of all kinds to attend, and hopes to foster an attitude of celebration to all things two-wheeled and pedaled.
Our whole point is to be a part of traffic, to be a visible and positive example of the cooperation that can exist between cars and bicycles if people generally respected not only laws, but each other.
