What to Expect - A Critical Mass Bike Party:
With dancing folks on bikes and wheels, lots of music (there will be a sound system and feel free to bring your own), come in costume, deck out your ride, and bring fun things to share like balloons, bubbles and sparklers! This Ride is about Liberation, Empowerment, and the Carnival Spirit of a Pre-Street Party buzz! Get excited. Very excited!
Pedals Not Pipelines - Safer Spaces considerations:
There will be First Aiders on the ride but we ask you to please think about your own, and others’, safety. For accessibility reasons, we’ll be riding at a pace that works for everyone. Remember a bike lock so you can lock up and join the dancing (and maybe bring a spare for those who forget one). Also note this will be a dry ride.
Big Love from Rising Tide
