Last night we joined forces with a group of bicycle advocates to help guide the new, improved Critical Mass bike ride, and we couldn’t be prouder of the resulting event. And the thanks goes to you, Fort Worth.
Critical Mass in some cities has gotten a bad rap, because the rides can sometimes devolve into confrontations between cyclists and motorists. But that’s not the “Fort Worth Way”, and we showed that last night.
Instead of making C.M. a “protest,” we made it a positive celebration of cycling. Riders corking intersections smiled, waved, and held up signs thanking drivers for being patient and courteous as the mass rolled through. And you know what? Not one single confrontation. Drivers seemed to enjoy the spectacle, and many asked about the ride and what we were doing. Now that is the whole point of Critical Mass, friends.
So thank you to the 100 riders that came out, and thank you to the thousands of drivers who smiled and returned our waves. We’re already looking forward to next month. Until then… stay classy, Fort Worth!

Yes Jared, it was fun.







You already know about our regular 7 p.m. Tuesday/Thursday road rides… but this Tuesday, July 20, we will also have a very special ride meeting at the shop at 5:30.
