CUL DE SAC MASS

Suburban Critical Mass

Friday, Oct. 9, 5PM, 3100 Atlantic (penfield town hall)

Recently, a boy in my hometown was hit by a high school senior (who was changing the song on his ipod and veered off the road) and broke both of his arms and both of his legs. My friend's father was hit not two weeks ago (breaking his collar bone) when a woman was making a right turn on red. I've heard of a lot of disturbing incidents in my town involving cyclists and motorists and I'm ready for it to stop. We all know cycling in the city can be very dangerous, but it can be equally as dangerous in the suburbs. Motorists and cyclists alike don't know the rules of the road, and even if they do, its unlikely that they follow them. And that is why on Friday, October 9th at 5pm at the Penfield Town Hall, there will be the first ever CUL DE SAC MASS. This is just like Critical Mass, but in the suburbs.
I know, most of you probably live in the city and have no interest in Penfield. But bicycle safety is always important, no matter where you live. So for those of you living in the city, Penfield is only an 8 mile trip (and almost all of it is going down East Ave, its really not far at all) and I believe there will be other people making that trip. You can go on facebook and look up CUL DE SAC MASS in events and find it, add yourself, and get updates. If you can't find the page, let me know and I'll get in touch.

Hope to see you there!
