Ride Reports:
Hey I'm the Chicago Flag cape guy who many of you may have seen me get grabbed by a cop and lake shore
Submitted by ChicagoFlagSkat... on Fri, 2010-06-25 21:45.Report from the May, 2010 Ride:
What's up Chicago what a critical mass it has been. The whole thing was fun and I was getting pretty tired riding my longboard the entire way. I'm glad I stuck around until the end because nothing compares to what happened on Lake Shore Drive. Given that it probably was a bad idea to ride on the Drive, how many chances do you get to ride a longboard on a major highway so I just had to take the risk.

Critical Mass Wedding
Submitted by gina09050 on Mon, 2010-05-31 18:45.Report from the May, 2010 Ride:
I just wanted to say thank you for passing by the wedding of my sister and her husband at 1315 W Randolph on the May 28th ride. They were surprised and thrilled to see you and appreciated all of the well wishes from the bikers! Their faces lit up as they received high fives and congratulations from the participants of the ride!
The bride and her husband met while working at a bike store in Dallas, TX, where they still reside. The photographer took some great photos of the couple greeting bikers on Randolph. I will post photos and some video soon.

I thought it would be a good idea to film this month's critical mass. I hope you all enjoy the video.
