Biking in BR

Well, that was fun. There was an art exhibit downtown, tonight, so the wife asked about riding our bicycles to it. I used to bike often, but that’s been decades ago. I haven’t yet replaced my wrecked truck, so that has necessitated some renewed interest in biking. I’ve lately been biking around enough to regain some of those bike muscles. Leaving the exhibit at the old Bogan Fire Station, we saw a noisy bunch of bicyclists on a cross street. It was a huge group, from the local Critical Mass organization. Here’s a link to CM's MySpace page. Anyway, we fell into the group and toured the town with them. They rode at a moderate pace, had outriders that “corked”every intersection so that the whole group could pass safely, and they all seemed a friendly bunch. They do those rides on the last Friday of every month, and I would certainly enjoy riding with them again.
