December Critical Mass

Five bicycles, three skaters and my Brox Compact was a rather small group for the last critical mass of the year. Let's hope we can build the ride back to the sort of numbers we had in the 1990s when we founded the ride in Bristol.

There was one loud trailer sound system playing punk versions of christmas songs and a variety of coloured lights. Unlike the traffic jam last month, the ride through Broadmead was unhindered by cars and was enjoyed by many of the shoppers.

 

After a diversion through Castle Park and across the bridge to the Left Handed Giant we pedaled back over Bristol Bridge,

 

and finished in Queens Square with mince pies and mulled wine.

 

So, I'm aiming to rebuild the Brox sound system in the new year and increase the numbers on critical mass and other rides through my Bristol Cycle Diary project. 

I hope to see you on the rides in 2026.
