I know the Davis bike Club...ridden the Davis Double several times when I
lived in Roseville, CA.
I assamed to know that the Davis Bike Club would stoop so low to have a
Critical Mass person speak at their meeting. Critical Mass has done nothing
but give us good cyclist a bad name........I'm very very disappointed.
