Memphis Critical Mass Is Back!

Howdy fellow cyclists and lovers of all thing pedaled. Memphis Critical Mass is back. I have been in hiatus, trying to keep my job and some remnant of my lifestyle throughout these uncertain and turbulent times as I know many of you are doing the same. These days, when frugality is most definitely king, the bicycle is now, more than ever, the answer to many of our woes. Bicycles are the most cost and energy efficient transportation/recreation machines in the world created and powered by human beings. Particularly at a time when our economy is in crisis and we have a huge addiction and perceived need for foreign produced oil. We are now at the cusp of needed change and innovation to reduce our collective carbon footprints and keep our hard earned money here in the United States where it belongs. We have a need to embrace preventive medicine through exercise, to keep our bodies moving, our hearts healthy, and our waistlines in check. The bicycle is the vehicle for change and the solution to our problems. Celebrate the bicycle! The next Memphis Critical Mass is April 24th at 6:00 pm. Stay tuned for location and details. Pedal On!

The master plan is done, and it's only a matter of time before Shelby Farms Park is declared a world-class destination. Of course, a lot of people who use the 4,500-acre East Memphis park think it already is, with its shaded trails, its wind-swept lakes, its rolling hills and those clear lines of sight that stretch across acres and acres of wide-open spaces.
What the park has never had, and still doesn't, though, is easy access from the west, unless you're in a motorized vehicle or in the middle of a pack of swift cyclists in bright, attention-getting jerseys who know what they're doing.
That's a shame for residents of East Memphis, Midtown and other neighborhoods that lie to the west, who still need a car to negotiate the recently widened stretch of Walnut Grove between Interstate 240 and the new bridge over the Wolf River. Read more...
