You might have just read James' post about Critical Mass Halloween, an event that happens all over the country, and maybe the world.  I attended the Miami one, which was the biggest group ride I've been on in the entire year that I've been here!  The streets of Miami have never seen anything so huge, and it was definitely the highlight of my Halloween.

There was a great article the next day in the Miami Herald about our "Strength in Numbers." It explained Critical Mass for those people in their cars who were wondering "what the hell is going on" which is great in helping to raise awareness!!  The article also talks about how the Miami Police Chief is an avid cyclists, so he is not about to go after the riders. YAY!

There were over 200 people!


Many social issues were addressed through costumes; gay rights, animal rights..


Insurance,


personally, I like to go for the more *classic* costumes


More classics, Wednesday & Lydia


Take back the streets!! Si se puede!


Insert wicked witch on a bike music here:


Biking makes everyone so HAPPY!


I stand corrected, 199 cyclists, and 1 rollerblader!


This is Rydel, from Miami Bike Scene, that organizes the monthly rides!
