Calgary Critical Mass bike ride August 31, 2007
Calgary, Alberta
On the last Friday of every month, cyclists around the world gather to ride the streets together to assert the rights of non-automotive traffic to use the streets.
In Calgary, we meet at Eau Claire (near the Olympic arches and the YMCA). The rides usually leave no later than 6pm, and take a generally random route (determined by the riders) through downtown and sometimes into other inner-city communities.

There has been some media interest in Critical Mass this week. The free street paper “24 Hours” is supposed to be running a story on the day of the ride — that will hopefully attract some more participants.
This is turning into a great opportunity to promote bicycles and other sustainable transportation as issues for the municipal election in October. Please make an extra effort to come out to this month’s ride — it’s looking to be both an extra-important and an extra-fun ride.

A pile of folks have signed up for this on the Facebook event listing, so we might have a pretty decent turnout this month.
