First Annual Courteous Mass Ride
Written by Boston Biker on Sep 06Probably will generate just as much angst as the critical mass ride…But who knows. From DotBike. I will be interested to see if the Herald, and other assy Newspapers pick this up.
——————————-
You may have heard of Critical Mass, a regular ride from Copley Square on the last Friday of each month. That ride (which is usually quite a large group) often generates controversy since on many rides the group blocks traffic in a way that gets negative responses and press.
As an alternative, a group of bike advocates and enthusiasts has organized Courteous Mass, a ride that obeys all traffic laws and asks participants to pledge to ride with courtesy and respect for all other road users. Join the inaugural ride!
Courteous Mass – Boston September 2011 ride!
Time: Friday, September 9, 2011 · 6:30pm – 8:30pm
