Courteous Mass December 2012

It's Tonight!
The weather is supposed to be terrific.
Here is the drill.  Happens every 2nd Friday of the month. 
This is not a training ride.  This is a City ride.
All parties are welcome to join and help bring common courtesy back to the streets. For those who need a refresher on what Courteous Mass is, here is the deal:
  1. The ride will respect and abide by the city’s traffic laws.
  2. Rides will be on the slow side to ensure no one is dropped and that the Mass stays a mass
  3. The Mass will only take up one lane, two when necessary for safety.
  4. The ride will stop at red lights and stop signs. If a light turns red mid-mass, the riders who made the light should safely pull over to wait for those who were caught by the light.
  5. Riders are asked to signal turns, call out danger, and communicate their intentions to other riders.
  6. All riders are required to wear helmets
The goal of these rides is to be a visible and positive example of the cooperation that can exist between cars and bicycles when people respect the laws and each other.

So join the Mass and help make Fort Wayne a better place for bicycles. 

Rally at 6:15 at Lawton Park at the trailhead.
Ride at 6:30.
Comfortable Pace, no one is dropped. (But please make sure that your equipment is in working order)
3RVS sponsored ride so helmets are required

History on this fine Wednesday

A co-worker of mine found this in a box that he bought at a recent auction.  Best I can tell it is original and in terrific condition.  I believe that this is the first of the modern bike design by Columbia Bikes that hasn't changed very much to this day.  Notice the date. Pretty cool.  You can see one of the original bikes HERE

Bike month festivities continue!

May 22nd        Breaking Away at the Downtown Library @ 6:30PM
Ride on down to the library during National Bike Month to view this Hoosier classic bicycling film. Dennis Christopher stars as a recent high school graduate in Bloomington, Indiana, who is caught with his friends drifting between high school and adulthood. Filmed entirely on location, it was named one of the American Film Institute's most inspiring films of all time.  Rated PG; 100 minutes; 1979 
Hope to see you there!
