Student Mass rides in peace
■The group cycles once a
month to make alternative
means of transportation
visible to the community
By Cody McCullough

With a light rain bouncing off their
helmets, the cycling group biown as
Student Mass gathered Friday after
noon in the EMU Amphitheater for
their latest trek across town.
Student Mass is an informal gath
ering of students and community
members who bike for 30 to 40 min
utes throughout Eugene to promote
alternative means of transportation.
When you choose
to drive a car, you choose
to be a part of the system.
Jacob Meyer
biology major
While the rain might have de
terred some potential riders from
coming out, more than 20 cyclists
showed up for the monthly event.
The Student Mass riders were met
with cheers, waves and encourag
ing honks along their route.
“When you choose to drive a car,
you choose to be a part of the sys
tem,” said biology major Jacob Mey
er during the ride. “Someday, peo
ple will be honest and realize that
our current transportation system is
unsustainable.”
Student Mass is separate from
Critical Mass, which has a long his
tory of conflicts with the Eugene Po
lice Department.
“As long as they’re orderly we
have no problem with them,” said

Eugene Police Department.
Ashton Burris, an environmental
studies major, said riders have been
issued tickets in the past during the
demonstrations. However, there
were no tickets issued during the
course of this latest ride.
Burris stressed that bike riding is
safer when people ride in big
groups, because the group is more
visible, and drivers are more cau
tious and respectful.
The rides are held the last Friday
of each month and begin outside the
EMU Amphitheater at 4 p.m.
