Slippery Rock University will be holding its first ever Critical Mass ride on Friday, November 9th at 4:30 PM at the ARC. More information can be found on the Facebook event page.

From the event page:

The purpose of thes[sic] ride is to raise awareness of bikes and the Green Bike Initiative on campus and in the town. Anyone is welcome to come to this event we plan on riding for 40 minutes or so around campus and town in a non-disruptive manor. Anything that rolls is legal, just let Steve-O or Dan W know if you need a bike.

Critical Mass is a worldwide movement to raise awareness for environmentally friendly modes of transportation. I currently live in Pittsburgh, and we have our Critical Mass ride on the last Friday of every month. The pace is slow, the ride is leisurly and the company is fun. I’m sure the ride at SRU will be just as good. Join your fellow riders to raise awareness for a good cause. Be sure to bundle up, ’cause forecasts call for cold and rainy weather (expect any less at Slippery Rock?!).
