Critical Mass Bike Ride

Critical Mass is a bicycling event typically held on the last Friday of every month in over 300 cities around the world. While the ride was originally founded in 1992 in San Francisco with the idea of drawing attention to how unfriendly the city was to cyclists, the leaderless structure of Critical Mass makes it impossible to assign it any one specific goal. In fact, the purpose of Critical Mass is not formalized beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets on bikes. (Wikipedia)

The London Mass meets at 6.00pm on the last Friday of every month on the South Bank under Waterloo Bridge, by the National Film Theatre.

See you in the mass!!!!!!

Backpacking in East London, SA

Yesterday evening we arrived at the Buccaneers Lodge and Backpackers resort, just outside of East London, in Chintsa West. Established back in 1983, these guys are considered one of the early pioneers in the South African backpacking industry. After a little confusion over the sleeping arrangements we check in and enjoy an evening meal of South African braai with potatoes and vegetables. A few Castles later and we retire for the evening.

Why a bike?

I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while now because it’s been one of those questions that I’m asked every time I tell the story. Why do you want to ride 9000km with a cycle? The usual answer is – it’s not about cycling its about the story… but today on my training ride to the Vaal Dam I realized that it is about the bike as well.
