The most fun I’ve had on Critical Mass has been when we’ve taken over Highway 99. I’ve gone north before, several years ago, but never south. This Friday was the first time: we jumped on the Columbia Street onramp, and, being several hundred deep, slowly moved onto the viaduct until we controlled all the lanes. We rode to Spokane Street and got off on Harbor Island, turned around and headed up surface streets to Seattle Center, where Folklife was beginning. From there we headed to Lakeview Avenue, which runs along the west side of Capitol Hill. I bailed and headed up the hill at that point, but what fun! If you don’t know about Critical Mass there is some information
here.
