Yes I’m trying to bring​ the Critical Mass concept to Amarillo,​​​ perhaps the least​ bike-friendly ​​​city I’ve ever seen.​​​ For those​ who aren’t familiar with this event​,​​​ it’s a big monthly bike ride of as many people as you can get. The name comes​ (as far as I can tell)​​​ from the idea that enough people on bikes​ become a force​ in traffic,​​​ not only impossible​ to ignore,​​​ but perhaps even capable​ of running the streets.
My plan is to rally​ at Sunset Center next Friday (​​​Oct. ​​3rd,​​​ or First​ Friday)​​​ start​ing at 6:30,​​ departing promptly at 7:00 on a route​ as yet to be deter​mined​. Any amount of portable light​ anyone can bring​ would​ be great​, as visibility​ is key not only to critical mass, but to being​ on a bike in general. At least befriend and help spread the word. And pleas​e repost.
Go to​ myspace.com/bikeamarillo and let’​s make Amarillo a safer place to ride!
​ Hope to see you there!
