Critical Mass Bike Ride through City of Lake Worth TONIGHT at 7:30

Folks, if you've never been in a Critical Mass (CM) ride you don't know what you're missing. It's very safe (my experience to date) and you don't have to be an athlete to participate. The pace can be brisk at times but the leaders of the ride stop now and then so everybody can stay together through some of the more challenging parts, like crossing Dixie Highway. I've been in six CM rides and lived to tell about it.

Remember though, this ride is "At Your Own Risk". Don't forget that.

You'll hear the term "corker" a lot. 'Corkers' make sure the ride gets through intersections safely and they always encourage everyone to be courteous and wave at the traffic that's inconvenienced for a minute or two. Most of those drivers that have to wait actually seem to enjoy the show and wave back and honk their horns.

You might say, "Hmmm, isn't stopping traffic illegal?" Yes it is. I can't speak for PBSO but what I can say is this: I've never seen PBSO interfere with the ride and I've never seen them participate either. I would guess their position is "have fun and don't be stupid". 

Note: The ride begins at 7:30 SHARP!

Here is the Facebook link for the Lake Worth Critical Mass ride. 

Very Important: Make sure you check the batteries in your bike lights. Bike lights are required, front (white light) and rear (red light). 

At 6:30 or so go to Bryant Park in front of the Gulfstream Hotel where the bike riders meet up. The ride starts at 7:30 sharp! So be on time. 

Hope to see you on tonight! Let's break a hundred bike riders this week.
