Tacoma SDS

This month Critical Mass takes over all of Tacoma. Come on out for a community bicycle ride (rain or shine) on Friday, February 26th. Meet up at Jefferson Park in North Tacoma (about N 9th and Madison) a bit before 6pm, and we’ll figure it all out from there. Hope to see you there!

But what is it? Why should I come?

Critical Mass is on for January, 2010! Come out (rain or shine) for a casual ride through the streets of Tacoma this Friday (Jan 29) at 5pm. We meet up at Jefferson Park in North Tacoma (about N 9th and Madison), and figure it all out from there. Hope to see you there!

But what is it? Why should I come?

Because it’s fun! Join fellow bicyclists for a leisurely and spirited celebratory ride through Tacoma. The ride is on rain or shine! Decorated bicycles, trailers, signs, flags, noise-makers, ghetto-blasters, sound systems, drums, and wildly modified bicycles are all highly encouraged!

Critical Mass July is on! Meet up at the corner N 9th St and N Madison St. on July 31 at 6pm. Not sure where to go? Check the magical Google Maps: link

But what is Critical Mass?

Critical Mass bike rides are spontaneous, leaderless rides that begin at specific times and locations in various cities around the world. Since no one organizes the rides, the rides have no agreed agenda or demands. They aren’t a protest. Instead, when we ride on Critical Mass, we’re living the world we would like to see–filling the streets with bikes, laughter, human speed, clean air, engagement and life. At Critical Mass, we can bike down the street safe from speeding cars–together–empowered by our numbers. Critical Mass is a celebration.

Critical Mass rides sometimes enrage car drivers because bike traffic competes with car traffic for space on the road. Cars have their critical mass 29 days of the month when bikes get crowded out. It’s called rush hour! Critical Mass is a single day when bike traffic briefly outnumbers car traffic. Maybe in 50 years, bikes will outnumber cars everyday. As concerns about global warming increase, people are searching for alternatives like bikes. A community of cyclists is developing–demanding respect and some space on the road.

The riders from the "Follow the Women" organization left Damascus on Tuesday and will travel to Jordan before ending in the Palestinian territories on May 14. The women began their journey in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on May 3.
