OUR LAKE WORTH CRITICAL MASS BIKE RIDE IS TOMORROW!

JOIN US AND BRING FRIENDS AND FAMILY! DETAILS FOLLOW:

Tomorrow you can usher in the New Year with the Lake Worth Critical Mass (CM) bicycle ride around Lake Worth!

The ride is always the first Friday of the month. Last month's ride was special because the ride had nearly 80 riders, the most riders by far for the CM ride here in Lake Worth. Last month's ride was also the best route so far, in my opinion, and went by many holiday light displays that are likely still up, for the most part. You meet in front of the Gulfstream Hotel (east side) and the ride leaves at 7:30 sharp. I would suggest going to our downtown Cultural Plaza for the Evening on the Avenues and the NAPC Front Porch until 7:00 and then proceed to the Gulfstream to socialize until the ride departs. 

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN ATHLETE TO RIDE! The CM ride is for everyone, young or older, singles or couples and families too. The pace is comfortable, with the average speed between 10 and 15 miles per hour, and the leaders of the ride stop occasionally to keep the group together. There are "corkers" who watch out for the safety of the riders and make sure vehicular traffic is aware that bike riders are coming through intersections. 

The only requirement are bicycle lights, front and back. This is very important. Some riders get very creative with their lights and this makes it an impressive visual sensory experience. If you don't have lights there are two bike shops in Lake Worth: Family Bicycle (561-533-6040) and Relentless Bicycle (561-547-1396). My bike shop is Relentless on Lucerne Ave east of the Post Office, if you go there tell them Wes said, "Hi". For more creative lighting options, you can always search the Internet and you will find a lot of ideas that are not too expensive, but add pizzazz to your nighttime bike ride experience.

Start your New Year off with a fun bike ride through our City of Lake Worth! Come out tomorrow and help the CM Lake Worth break 100 riders. Viva Lake Worth!
