Modesto Critical Mass Bike Ride
Population growth = more cars. How many cars can a city withstand?
Gas is a ridiculously high, how much more can we afford to pay?
Global Warming is fact & how long are we going to keep polluting? Statistics tell us that at the rate we are going, we will only make it another 30-40 years before major disasters start accuring…(this is insane). How could we let this get so out of control? We must do something NOW, before It’s too late. Look Into natural alternative fuels, drive your car less, ride a bike to work. Turn off your TV & COME OUT TO OUR CRITICAL MASS BIKE RIDE. The bike came before the car, people have been cycling since the 1800’s in the Untited States. It’s time we practice some old habits!

Yes. While critical mass has been cast in San Francisco as an issue of arrogant hipsters who scorn those trying to get to work, it seems pretty likely to me that there could be a few gas price shock episodes this summer. This would or will really bring home the issue of changing the fuel economy of the whole auto fleet, in all the rural and exurban areas of the western U.S. which lack adequate bus systems (leaving bicycles).
If you look at this NOAA photo of the day, it shows smoke from fires already burning all over the southeast in April/May, and an early tropical depression. In 2005, the first hurricane occurred during mid June. If the storm track this year goes into the gulf instead of along the eastern seaboard, that always gets them to shut down oil rigs and sends gas prices up.

Warm tropical ocean temperatures during el Nino years apparently dampens hurricane formation (like 2006), while the drier subtropical air during La Ninas (2007) enhances storm formation.
