– the ride is in support of the Draw The line Mobilization. (Also, come out to the Ottawa-Gatineau DRAW THE LINE March on Saturday, September 20: https://www.facebook.com/share/1B9P5ygWCr/)
📍 Starting Point: Fountain at Confederation Park (if it’s raining right at 6:00 PM, meet across the street under the awnings at Ottawa City Hall).
What to Expect - These are Critical Mass style rides — meaning we don’t follow a pre-planned route. Instead:
🚴 The people at the front decide where to go
🔄 Riders rotate leading during the ride
🚦 At intersections, we adapt depending on our numbers
💡 Remember: “We aren’t blocking traffic, we ARE traffic!”
The September 12 ride is a chance to practice together so more of us are “Critical Mass literate.” The September 19 ride is where we go BIG — hundreds of us on bikes, taking back the streets the night before thousands march through Ottawa and Gatineau.
