        yup
        its that time of the month again

        what is it?
        this is a free fun bicycle ride
        that happens on the last friday of every month
        in hundreds of cities around the world
        its a wonderful bicycle party parade
        that celebrates the freedom of traveling
        under your own power
        its also an example of how the bicycle
        can be a viable means of alternative transportation
        its an open event that invites individuals
        to express themselves creatively socially
        politically artistically vocally
        to an audience of their friends neighbors
        coworkers and fellow citizens
        its a reclamation of space
        suggesting the concept
        that our city belongs to people and not machines

        kansas citys mass starts from the sunfresh parking lot
        on mill street between southwest trafficway
        and westport road
        meet at 6p
        ride at 6:30ish
        and usually explores the lively streets
        of westport midtown and the plaza
        sometimes we head downtown and the city market
        before heading back towards the
        start to hunt down food and spirits
        the slowest rider determines the pace
        (the point is to be there-not get anywhere)
        and often the youngest rider determines the route!
        this is a fun friendly ride for all ages
        aimed at spreading bicycle-cheer throughout our community
        across cultural and geographical boundaries
        see you there
        peace
