It’s radical in both senses of the word: it’s definitely surfer radical: like, it hucks the gnar (with no cars!). It’s also political radical: like, it’s a great example of a free, healthy, spontaneous, sustainable, inclusive event. PLUS… it’s super-fun.
Tonight’s ride was awesome. About 470 people came out, from what I heard (which is a lot! we filled up the granville bridge!). Wish you were there! (It’s okay, you can come out next time. It’s the last Friday of every month. The ride leaves from the art gallery downtown, around 6pm. Not in Vancouver? That’s okay — it happens all over the world. Poke around, find your local ride, and check it out!)
