After a very long flight back and the added drama of the ipod loss, I needed something to keep me awake and excited about being back in Melbourne. Luckily being the last Friday of the month it was critical mass day - a chance for bikes to take over the streets of melbourne and remind people that the car is not the only option. (especially in such a bike friendly place like Melbourne) It was a perfect day for getting out amongst it and as the website says for "transforming a dreary commute into a radiant celebration of a vibrant urban life and reclaiming of public space" A few of the guys bring speakers along so they pump out the tunes as we carry the parade through the streets. (I can't wait till I do this again with my yet to be purchased new bike - i.e one with working brakes and gears!)
for more information on critical mass go here. I urge all melbournites to get involved, it's a great afternoon out - and usually they go for beers afterwards, so is a nice little social venture as well. :)
