Midnight Mass Bike Ride
Thursday, September 10

Do you have a bike and like riding at night? Bring your lights and friends, your exploratory attitude, something warm to drink, and join the ride!

Meet 11:45 pm at Grandview Park (Commercial Drive at Charles Street -- across from the Havana and Turks) and roll at midnight. 

The ride happens the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month, so mark your calendars. Tell your bike loving friends, and hope to see you there!

Critical Manners Ride -- CANCELLED

Ride Postponed

I'm amazed and inspired by how strong a chord was struck by cyclists fed up with being painted by the Critical Mass brush, and how many came out to support the first Vancouver Critical Manners Ride.

Unfortunately, as it sometimes does to the best of volunteers, life happened and I'm not able to continue to organize or lead the next Critical Manners ride.

But never fear! There are still some great opportunities to get involved in the local cycling community, get involved in advocacy that actually makes a difference to the cycling community and ride with other like-minded pedal pushers.

Join your local chapter of the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition [ http://vacc.bc.ca ], and keep your eye on Pedal Etiquette [ http://www.pedaletiquette.com ].

The VACC has some upcoming courses on riding safely and legally in traffic. They’re also partnering with MEC to put on a number of Great Rides throughout the lower-mainland. And don't forget, Bike to Work Week Fall Edition is coming up.

Pedal Etiquette is an emerging group, focused on riding (and walking, and driving) respectfully every day. I'm excited to see how it develops.

And of course, if you'd like to pick up the torch and take on the leadership of Critical Manners, please email criticalmanners.vancouver [at] gmail [dot] com!
