Critical Mass is a (fun!) socially-paced ride (about 10 mph). We ride to be in community with other cyclists/skaters/scooterers/etc, provide safety in numbers, and demand safe transportation infrastructure for allYou are welcome to leave the ride when you’d like, but as a "no drop" ride, we don’t leave anyone behind because of speed. (We cannot stop for mechanical issues, though.)

The starting point at Red Arrow is accessible by transit:

• MCTS lines that come within a few blocks: Green, CN1, 14, 15, 18, 19, 30, 33, 57

I'm amazed by how much broken glass is on certain sections of the Hoyt mtb trail. I took my kids out there today and we filled a bag with at least 5 pounds of broken glass, but there is still a ton out there.

Anyone know of the source? How long has it been there?

So I just moved over here and saw about 50+ motorcycles speeding on the oak leaf trail last night. Is this like a normal occurrence? A police car seemed to be trying to chase them on surface streets(not doing a particularly great effort BTW). This was at about 8:30 or so.

Is this something that I'll have to be on the lookout for on off-street trails?

This will be my first winter using my bike to commute 1 day a week to work. I use a mix of the bus and Hank Aaron for my morning commute and strictly streets for my commute home. My question for those who commute in the winter, what pieces of gear do you find essential for a (somewhat) comfortable ride?

I’m looking to do a sunrise ride tomorrow (Sunday) morning, riding along most of the lakefront portions of the Oak Leaf and west on the Hank Aaron.

I’ve never seen it be actually closed, but I wanted to check beforehand.

Thanks!

Didn’t really know I was allowed to bike around Jones’ island- or that there is a public park there (Kozubes’ park)! Pretty neato. Fun area to explore, kinda felt like I was trespassing the entire time lol

I’m planning a long ride to cap off the summer from Tosa to the northern end of the Interurban, a bit over 80 miles. It’ll be my first time on the Interurban. A small top tube bag and jersey pockets will be enough for nutrition, but there’s no way I’ll be able to carry enough water unless I convince my wife to drive a support car. Are there enough public drinking fountains along the trail to make this possible without support?
