[Critical Mass Vancouver]

This Friday
August 25th
Last Mass of the Hot Season
Bike Skate 'Blade Trot Tumble Roll Rock Talk
In the streets of Vancouver

                 I celebrate myself, and what I assume you shall assume,
                  For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
                   I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease...
                                        observing a spear of summer grass.
                                                     ~Walt Whitman

530pm leave at 600pm or so

those stone lions

This is an inclusive event for all people who are powering their own 
mobility. It is not about angry confrontations but celebration and 
demostration of alternatives. It is whatever you bring to it. Enjoy safety 
and comfort in the car-free space that we create by simply riding together. 
Violence is not invited.


One of the Themes for this Ride is Hurricane Mass! It has been a year since 
Hurricane Katrina. Global warming is something car use probably is driving. 
A meaningful alternative to car culture and greenhouse gas generating 
fossil fuels? We have a way out. Declare independence from the automobile 
and dirty energy.
