    Who's up for Friday's Critical Mass then? I'm not sure if I'll be making an appearance because I have a busy night. nothing planned for 5:30pm - 6:00pm though so I might come along for a little while to see what it's all about but I have to get home for about 6:30pm because I'm going out to a party at 7:00pm.

    If its nice weather il be up for it, might end up going on my bmx though as i havent been out on it ages and may be riding in town prior to the mass anyway.

    There was a bit of chat about this on Tuesday at Fixed Beer and I think I might go along (It's a reason to stay in uni until after 5:00pm). If it's crap I'll be handing out spokecards before shooting off but if enough GlasgowFGSS people go it might be fun.

    If it's shit we could just have an impromtu pint at the variety bar maybe.

    (I now feel like I'm planning the backup plan more than the plan)

    Nah me and mech_van did exactly the same thing on the last Critical Mass I almost attended. It was looking pretty shitty so we just let them leave and boosted to Sleazies.

    Will do. They'll probably be going so slow that I could whip out my phone and text you whilst cycling.

    I left work about 6:30pm and rode past George Square, but couldn't see any sign of anyone, so I guess the convoy already pedalled off.

    anyone going to the one tomorow? i had a little slip of paper attached to my bike at cali yesterday by some one promoting the ride. have got a foto of it on my phone but cant post it up at the moment as at work. will do it later. i'm tempted to go along and see if anythig is happening as they appear to be trying to get more numbers along. 6pm george sq so it is....

    I'll probably be in town, so I might go along to to see who turns up. I doubt I'll be taking part in the ride itself though.

    It's made up there and then - apart from the time and place, it's not organised.

    In the opposite direction and to a pub? I'm in!

    When you see the people that usually turn up to CM, you'll feel differently. I went to one last summer and I was the only person not dressed as a banana or a carrot.

    We'll just claim to be the Real Critical Mass and confuse matters. As long as we cycle faster than 5mph then the normal mass won't catch us from what I've seen previously.

    There's a danger here of turning into 'the common wheel attitude' or something more eloquent. Produce can ride bikes too.

    From the CM ride I went on I found it uncomfortable and dangerous. I wasn't too please with the ability of some of the riders who weren't aware of the bikes or cars around them.

    i hate the pseudo protest/political/procession ness of it all. Why not just go for a ride because you like riding your bike with other people?

    It also attracts a load of idiots who never ride a bike but just like to join in to cause a bit of a commotion.
