[Bryn-gwlad] anyone wanna go a-viking on friday?

[Samantha Smith]

Er...

Considering Critical Mass can be fairly to severely dangerous -- riding
one's bicycle intentionally blocking cars through Friday rush hour traffic
on busy streets and dodging the police being a somewhat risky proposition --
I'm not sure it would be a very good idea to recommend it as an SCA
gathering. Viking theme or no, I'm concerned that we might ruin the general
goodwill we usually have from the local authorities, at least when they
aren't telling us not to shoot our arrows at the IKEA.

For more information on the movement, the following seems to be pretty
balanced:

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade,
