SD Critical Mass Coffee Shop Discussion TONIGHT!

sd_critical_mass

This is late notice, but hopefully not too late for a good turnout to discuss an important issue.

From new local bicycling blog Bic Control:

Please come out to this informal, friendly coffeeshop discussion on how to keep CM positive and purposeful.

Do you have ideas? Bring them. Positivity? Bring it. Reservations/concerns? Let's talk it out. Passion? Bring it. A voice? Use it. Just wanna listen? That's fine. Constructive solutions? Bring them all. This Monday. And help keep our Critical Mass ride healthy for years to come.

If you're all about SDCM come out, embrace community, and discuss ways to improve our ride.

Dialogue can only make SDCM better.

This Monday, September 19, 2009 @ 7pm
Rebecca's Coffeeshop in South Park neighborhood of center-city San Diego.
3015 Juniper St.
Be there.


What to do this weekend?

Every San Diego cyclist can be busy every single day from sunrise to sunset just doing various group rides around San Diego County. But what are some of the highlights for yet another perfect weekend?

  • Saturday (September 12): Saturday starts out with a blast, that is the Mid-City Bike Blast. This month's ride will feature live musicians on a cargo bike. The ride begins at the City Heights Farmers' Market. Children and pets are also welcome on this fun, conversationally paced ride.
  • Sunday (September 13): You can start your Sunday right by joining the friendly, conversationally paced Down Townies Ride.
  • Sunday is also the day to Ride 4 AIDS. From their website: All of the proceeds raised from the Ride 4 AIDS, stay right here in San Diego County! Your donation support and helps ensure those waiting for a cure get the services and care they need. It also increases our ability to reach people who are at risk for infection with information and education to keep them disease free.

If none of the rides above strike your fancy, you can always pick something you like from the ever-growing San Diego bicycle events calendar. If you do attend the events and take pictures, feel free to send them to us or join our flickr pool and we'll pick pictures and post them here.

Happy riding!
