Critical Mass
Critical Mass is not a Coastal Cyclists sponsored ride.  It is actually as much a social movement as it is a ride.  For the uninitiated, there is an excellent video depicting what you can expect HERE.  Coastal Cyclists recommends that all riders wear a helmet and obey all traffic laws on every ride (not just this one!).
