So I am reading the latest newsletter from the Toronto Cyclist Union and under the events section there is something that really made me laugh. They are having a Suburban Critical Mass.
That, by itself, is a fine idea. What makes me laugh is the location where everyone meets. The meeting place is the corner of Yonge and Eglinton. Now I know I always make fun of folks who live North of Bloor St… but I don’t think of Yonge and Eglinton as suburban by any means.
Link to newsletter events.
Hey there,
Glad to give you a good laugh, but wanted to let you know that the Suburban Casual (Critical) Mass is not organised by the Toronto Cyclists Union - we simply added the event to our listings to let our subscribers know about it.
I think the point is to ride to the suburbs, but have an accessible start point like Yonge & Eg so that people decide to give it a try.

Good point - I think my post made it appear that the event was organized by the Cyclist’s Union (I am a member). It’s not organized, simply noted as an event in the union’s newsletter.
