This video was sent to the Miami Critical Mass group from a cyclist who participated in last month's ride. The rider used a handlebar mounted camera so the footage is quite shaky. The video contributor also uploaded a video of himself falling at Bike Miami Days, his description of the clip says it all "I was trying to hop up on to a curb, I failed miserably!". There's something about people falling off bicycles that I've always found hilarious. Smooth Vic doesn't appear to be hurt, the camera seems fine & we all get a cheap laugh. Hope to see everyone at this month's Critical Mass on Friday October 30th.

You know, I'm still trying to decide how do I feel about Critical Mass. In theory it's all well and good, but in practice... I can't attend any of the rides since they all happen on Fridays or Saturdays and I observe Shabbat, so I have to rely on what I see on videos and what people tell me. I started a thread in the Miami CM Meetup, but no answers as of yet.

We'll see.
I believe The Herald is doing a story on Miami Critical Mass that should be out prior to the ride on October 30th. The reporter attended a few of the rides and interviewed organizers & participants, that piece should shed some light on Miami CM when it becomes available.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep an eye out to MBS then, cause I know you'll feature it. I posted my question to the CM Facebook group (both of them) but nothing yet.
ReplyDeleteFun times...but wasn't it odd how that dood who was at the front of the pack jumped off his vertical mountain bike from Kmart going through the tunnel section of Coral Gables? Was he intending to cause a crash or what? Toys need to stay in the back of the pack...
