I thought the term critical mass has something to do with the minimum amount of fissionable material necessary to cause an atomic blast. Well, maybe, but in hundreds of cities around the world it refers to a swarm of cyclists who take over the streets on a mass ride. It takes place in Chicago on the last Friday of every month, leaving from Daley Plaza in the Loop, the place with the giant Picasso statue.
There were lots of good images. Above, the riders fly through the Logan Square neighborhood where U "R" Us resides.
Below: U "R" Us and special friend Claire prepare to ride.
Wrapped in the flag - of the City of Chicago.
Student photographers - with a Hasselblad!
A well-helmeted little boy finds that the base of the Picasso makes a great slide.
There is a series of Chicago pictures on Flickr here. And check out U "R" Us' post on the event, including some video.
