As always, Critical Mass Orlando was a beautiful festival of hundreds of riders on bikes, e-bikes, scooters, and more taking the streets as is their right every day. This is a social ride as much as anything, riding the last Friday of every month from Orlando Loch Haven Park.

I sooo hope this is not our last peacetime ride, given the ugly mess in Texas. As I left the ride, I passed a lit-up “crystals” art exhibit that had been in DC for the Dec 2016 DC Bike Party, then as now having been a time of great menace. Major deja vu with that.
