Critical Mass Today in Pocatello!

Here’s the flyer and email from the folks at Idaho State University who organized this event.

Subject: Critical Mass Ride this Evening

Hey everybody!

You guys pumped for our first ride of the season?

We’ll be meeting up in the parking lot where the farmers market is held; between main and the tracks, behind the Old
Town Pocatello building, just north of Scott’s. You know where I mean.

At 5:30ish we’ll take off, route yet to be determined. I’d like for us to be visible but not pissing people off (our first time out anyway).

I found the Idaho laws about bicycling; they’re a posted item on the Event. In short:
If on sidewalk, yield to pedestrians
If on street, ride as close to the right side as you can safely, vehicles can overtake you.
Riding two abreast is fine but don’t take up more than one lane and only fill a lane if you’re not holding up traffic.
When approaching a stop sign, slow down. If the coast is clear blow through it!
When approaching a red light, come to a stop. If it’s clear you can proceed.

Ride like a flock of birds. Get separated, catch up, rinse and repeat. Have fun. Don’t get hit by a car.

After you’ve worked up a thirst, you’re welcome to join a bunch of us at Goody’s for Drinking Liberally this evening.

ALSO: spread the word! Drag your friends along. Invite some of your facebook friends to the group right now… After all, we need a CRITICAL MASS!
