Not even Christmas is reason enough not to ride

The atmosphere was good on the November Critical Mass ride. The number of participants varied between six and eight, and it had of course been even more fun if more would show up. It is, after all, always safer to ride in a group. Anyhow the tour ended with a strengthening cup of coffee at a cafe in town.

The December tour will take place on Christmas Day. We look forward to a Christmas like experience, a quiet bike ride through the snow with jingling bells. The food from Christmas Eve must be shaken down and new room for the Christmas dinner must be created. Dress yourself in long johns and quilted jacket, and take part in this month's Critical Mass ride.

"Burn fat, not oil!"

Next Ride

The end of the rainy November is approaching, but the cyclists of Gothenburg defies wind and weather for the monthly ride. We gather on Friday 27 at 18.00 at Gustav Adolf's Square and cycle at decent pace through the city. Usually the ride ends at Järntorget around 19 and those who wish may well continue over a coffee or a glass of beer.

Do not forget to bring lights, something to drink, and clothing for the weather.
