on another note.
critical mass here in chicago is one of the craziest things iv done in a while. There is no comparison to the size of LA's. Friday there must have been anywhere from 500- 1000 riders who gathered! It started off slow taking up every lane on the streets for several blocks, i often found my self walking my bike because there was not enough road room to ride. As the ride started to spread out we wound up doing circles in the biggest intersections, bringing traffic to a stand still for at least 15 minutes. Several times we would engulf a taxi with people in while the meter was still running. Then the real fun began. SO there was a car trying to get though the hundreds of riders and usually on person just stands in front of a car to make it stop so everyone can get through safely, but this stupid old man with his poor old wife in the back did not want to stop. there were 6 of us in front of his car trying to make him stop and he keep inching forward and began to run or one the guys bikes over. The riders get really upset when cars don't acknowledge us. All the riders began banging on the car and as the old man tried to speed a way someone took their lock and smashed in the back window. It was a pretty intense ordeal but we rode on, till we hit the freeway. I dint think it could get much crazier while we were on the on ramp of the the freeway taking over one lane at a time until we took over all five lanes of the road. We rode for about 15 minutes on the freeway till a cops came at forced us off, then we headed to the beach for the final stop. ill post pictueres of the ride along with my pompoms once i get my film developed.
good day everyone
