Critical Mass, Oct 2001

Email Moz

The destination for the ride was officially Petersham, so that some of us could end up at the bush dance (a Green party fundraiser), via Reclaim the Night (not a Green Party event ;-) and Newtown (a nightspot). This is the first Mass after the winter (it was light at the start) and the one before our big event of the year - riding the harbour bridge.

(The yellow jackets are bike cops). We submit a "notice of intention" to commit an unusual behaviour, which if accepted gives us a bit of legal cover for things that are normally illegal (no bikes on the bridge normally). So about 50 people signed it (one is required) to spread the resnponsibility a bit. Otherwise the cops can land heavily on the one signee if anything at all does not comply with what they said we'd do. And has anyone ever seen a Mass go exactly to a previously published plan?

leaving Hyde Park Tall Bike 1 - David College St a fairy costume at about walking speed Caitlin Mark is back. We like Mark! Susan, but not on the tandem trike. Evan on the bent Ev and Kelly note the kid inside the truck and the number plate is... We had a wee problem with the truck - he just kept driving forward. But he did actually stop in the end (Police arrived). A bit of a yelling match... which his boss will hear about, of corse. Cops, as always, just wanted us out of the way, failed to book him at all. buy our shirts! sign our notice! of intention to ride the bridge (officially!)
