2010-03-26 Fri - Critical Mass - The rolling LFGSS birthday party

We can and will make CM what we want it to be - when I go I certainly don't do any of that waving your bike in the air, standing around crossroads shouting, and I tend to try to avoid causing any unnecessary inconvenience to motor traffic that may have had to wait for us to pass.

That's really only what people do who haven't been on CM a lot. They get overexcited and carried away. It goes in phases--you get people like that for a few months, then they drop off again.

It is important that forumengers who come along familiarise themselves a little bit with how to ride on CM--i.e., you have to ride really slowly if you want to keep it together, stop not infrequently at junctions until everybody has caught up, be disciplined about helping with corking, etc.
