[*BCM*] Critical Mass Boston Globe feature story

[Lee Peters]

Three other important things to note:

You may want to check out this link to see what we have been talking about on this list for the past three years:
http://bostoncriticalmass.org/pipermail/bostoncriticalmass/

A caveat to the Boston Critical Mass e-mail list is the participation on the list doesn't necessarily mean participation on the actual ride.

The winter rides are dramatically different in numbers from the spring/fall/summer rides.  The number of participants in the winter are a fraction of the number that show up for the warm-weather rides.  March might be a decent turn-out, April usually, and by May we are turned up to '11'.

(you can place me in the old-timer section, but remember there are no leaders of Critical Mass)

  Subject: [*BCM*] Critical Mass Boston Globe feature story


  Hi,

  I'm working for the Boston Globe, just starting there as a co-op from Northeastern University. My mission is to show the greater Boston community what Critical Mass is all about, even in the cold of winter. I'm going to ride along at the next Critical Mass event at the end of the month. I just want to talk to people about their motivation for doing this (better bicycling conditions? environmentalism? awareness of bicycle riders on the road who are prone to being hit?). The only thing I've found in my archives is a story published in the Globe about Critical Mass L.A. and one in the NYTimes about the N.Y.C. Critical Mass. I'm definitely not trying to trash Critical Mass (as some have pointed my previous e-mail seemed "dubious." I have a few friends that are involved and they love it! I just need as much information as possible. Let me know if this is alright. I'd like to talk to individuals: newcomers and oldtimers at Critical Mass. Please, please help me write a fun feature on Critical Mass for the Globe's City Weekly section.
