Shiver Me Timbers, the Pirate Critical Mass Ride is upon us!

Yo Ho Ho Ye Cycling Pirates! 'Tis Bike Month a Comin' an' to kick off Bike Month we good pirates will be ridin' the streets of Vancouver! 

Ye Friday the ten and twenty days of May (May 30th), as we here know it to be the last Friday of the month, shall be it. So then it shall be a Pirate Critical Mass. We Ride for one and all to join in or walk the plank! (Don't drive a car there!)

Arrrr. We shall meet at the Vancouver Art Gallery, downtown, between the mighty lions and where the water spills from the earth on the Georgia Street side. We shall parley there around 5:00 to 5:30 p.m., Pacific seaboard time, but I reckon we won't be leavin' until 6:00 p.m. that eve. We'll be ridin' to the Cape of Good Pedalling, with our bounty of safe and comfortable cycling, where Car-Free Island will be freed at last. 

Come as ye will, festooned in pirate gear for all to see. Bring flute or drum or any noisey thing you can carry to inspire the imagination. Not just bicycles but all those who sail under their own wind are welcome, be that skateboards, wheelchairs, rollerskates, or as it may. We set out rain or shine so ye best come prepared!

Ye Vast, We Don't Block Traffick
For, We ARRRRRRR Traffick!!!

Critical Mass is a monthly fun and celebratory ride and skate through the streets of Vancouver -- on the last Friday of the month -- to promote non-polluting forms of transportation. It is a celebration of one beautiful and simple alternative: the bicycle. Skateboards, rollerblades, and rollerskates are all welcome too! See http://www.criticalmasshub.com for worldwide details.
 
Mass for Mass Transit.
