Oakland Critical Mass rolls through the First Friday street festival every month, where I do projection activism. These bicyclists inspired my solarpunk novel, Neon Riders.

You can find the ebook on this indie site and the paperback on Barnes and Noble.

The projected art is by Jordan Johnson

It's actually Bike Party, which has a more fun and less aggressive vibe than Critical Mass

Currently reading Missing Mermaid, excited to see you've written more and even about bicycling!

Also very cool pic. Hadn't been to a mass in a while

Bikes and solarpunk are such a perfect match, human-powered transport is literaly the most sustainable option we have!

Bicycles also allow for creative expression, as you can see all this brilliant customization.

Girl, that's the original box art of Chris Sawyer's Transport Tycoon, is what that is.
