Here’s a round-up of some of the news stories and other links about the Morristown Critical Mass Bike Ride on Friday, and this post features a great video of the ride, by Larry, who shows up with his dogs at the rides. I especially love how you can tell people are just having pleasant conversations as they ride down the street, and the bits where people see someone they know and just wave. Nice!

It would also be great if you could write a letter to Mayor Cresitello, along with the other mayors and police officers that showed up (I mean the ones that rode the ride), and you can find their addresses after the jump, along with the news round-up. If you want to get a fancy stamp, you might want to ride the traction line to the Convent Station Post Office, where they sell all kinda of theme stamps. I love themes.

So! Here’s a great wrap of the ride from the Star Ledger’s Morristown Green blog, and this post also has links to past coverage, including some dark rainy rides. Also video of the mayor explaining the ride is private citizens out for a bike ride around town.
