Critical Mass - January '09

tomorrow night

Indeed it is.

...as is Kingspin.

one word.
Rollapaluza.

.....beaten to it.

I'm at mass, will be in red gore jacket, steamroller, say hi :D

thanks for correcting my post dave !!
was in a hurry !

I'm planning on going. Pink 'at and blue and pink lo-pro I should imagine. Unless its raining. In which case white bike. Say hi.

Definitely there now, swapped shift with the other guy.

Time? Place? Will be there with a few people!

where when???

Usual spot I imagine, stone circle in near the BFI on SouthBank.

got to be kingspin tonight. but if anyone fancies a G at the lamb beforehand be good to see yas.

Shame, I'm gonna miss it. Not missing Kingspin though.

going to be my first one... see you der..
what time does it start again?

I'll be on my half finished gold "alan"

Gus people start congregating at 6.30 ish, usually leaves around 7.

Just got back, that was so much fun. Good times!

Anyone see the guy on the browny Condor Tempo, bright front light, getting shirty with like everyone! Around i can't remember when, when a guy in a cab (passenger) shouted dickhead, he immediately shouted YOU FUCKING WANT SOME? or something like that, for a while, that's my manager :D

yeah, erm it's not really about getting in to fights with cab drivers and their passengers...

I know i know, but it's funny, he's not a thug or anything, he's 46! But he won't take being called a dickhead, just because he's on a bike.

The guy on the condor had anger issues!

I froze to death tonight but was well worth it, I'll bring the other half next time

I went down.
My first one.

What a pile of super slow wank.
I guess I was harbouring romantic ideals of what it would be. But it was just so fucking slow. It was easier to walk my bike sat on the top tube.

But met loads of forumgers. El Squire and Gus and a few others whose names I have all forgotten. Sorry guys. I' shit. Pleasure to meet all of you! Best bit of the night without a shadow of a doubt.

Shan't be repeating this next month thats for sure.

There's no usually about it - it's always that slow.

critical mass is slow. it is not about riding it is about reappropriating space. space that is normally for cars becomes for cycles. challenge the normall through protest. simple. you should understand the purpose of it before slagging it off - and it's been going for far longer than most trends.

also, it's far better in summer as it is too cold in winter to go that slow.
