Worcester Critical Mass
I managed to get stuck behind the local Critical Mass tonight (background for the uninitiated) and found the whole experience quite pleasurable. It definitely added a few min to my drive time, but comic relief in the form of reactions from other motorists totally made up for any inconvenience. People laying on horns, yelling and weaving in and out of lanes to try and pass the group was a fascinating glimpse at futility in motion. The only thing better was the friendly waves and smiles the cyclists offered up to angry motorists. The event, the last Friday of every month, is still in its infancy locally. But has grown since the last time I saw photos; I’d guess there were 35-40 people tonight.
