BIKE CIRCUS aka Critical Mass happens THIS FRIDAY!

Well what do you know, it's almost the LAST Friday of the month! Y'all know what that means, right? CRITICAL MASS!!! As of last month a crew of long-time riders have been mixing it up, trying to bring the ride back to its' roots as a rocking, rolling, ridiculous costume party on as many wheels as you can power by your own bad self. We saw costumes, instruments, about half a dozen bike/backpack stereos kids in basket bikes, tall bikes, LOTS of confetti, it was seriously the best Critical Mass ride we've had in forever and I expect it to only get better as the summer encroaches on this pleasant couple weeks known as "Spring". Here's what the people with the Facebook event have to say about things:

We will call this the friendlier Critical Mass. Please leave behind the bad attitudes, and feel free to don a crazy ass costume. Let's make this a rolling party so awesome it will make the people in cars during rush hour wish they were having as much fun as we are... I want to see all the tall bikes, boneshakers, and your most creatively festooned bike. If you feel the need to cover your bike in leopard print fur more power to you ;)

YES. THIS is what I love about Critical Mass. See you kiddos there. 5pm on the UT West Mall, this Friday. But seriously folks, unlike the MAJORITY of traffic on the streets at 5:30pm on a Friday, we're there to have FUN! Is a car hassling you? Then just follow Jessica's advice on dealing with the issue:

Y'all behave like the good little cyclists I know. That means be on your best behaviour: if a car has a problem with you, show them your tits. I'm sure it will make their day that much better.

PERFECT advice, and I can't imagine such an act NOT defusing any stress or hassle we may encounter on our travels. TIT POWER! CRITICAL MASS! BE THERE!

Oh and be sure to wear something loose, because there's a Booty Bounce event after the ride... awwwwwwww yeah.
