About Me

i am about eleven years old. i started in san francisco and i am really excited to make my name in denver.however, i am rather annoyed with the stigma that critical mass is somehow "deviant." i've heard from people who ride bikes that they somehow don't like crit mass. it's either too elitist, too political, too extremist, too anti-establishment, or whatever reason they come up with not to show up. but guess what; critical mass is based on those who show up. do you want to be the change you wish to see in the world? then defy whatever convention you think exists and come ride with us, as us, the last friday of every month. you can define what denver's critical mass is, bring your friends, family, but most importantly, human powered machines to ride on the streets and show the car-drivers that there is another option to gas-guzzling machines and their dying empire...i have no leader. we lead ourselves. this is not a group. this is something we do. i am what you want me to be.

My Interests

bicycles of all sorts; fixies, trikes, cruisers, unicycles, if it has human powered wheels, we dig it. not getting fucked with by the cops.tell us your interests, this is a collective and collaborative effort!

I'd like to meet:

i would like to meet everyone in denver on the last friday of every month in civic center park near the seal fountain at 5:30pm.

Music:

Movies:
