hi For those who don't know what Critical Mass is this:
Critical Mass is a bicycling event typically one day every month in over 300 cities around the world. While the ride was originally founded in 1992 in San Francisco with the idea of drawing attention to how unfriendly the city was to cyclists, the leaderless structure of Critical Mass makes it impossible to assign it any one specific goal. In fact, the purpose of Critical Mass is not formalised beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through the city or town streets on bikes.
Critical Mass rides vary greatly in many respects, including frequency and number of participants. For example, many small cities have monthly Critical Mass rides with fewer than twenty riders which offer safety in numbers to cyclists in those locales. At the opposite extreme, one Critical Mass occurred in Budapest, where an estimated 80,000 riders participated. Critical Mass Melbourne's 10th birthday ride saw more than 1000 riders party on Melbourne's streets in 2005
Critical Mass has been described as "monthly political-protest rides", and characterized as being part of a social movement.[3] It has been described as a "monthly protest by cyclists reclaiming the streets."[4] Participants have insisted that these events should be viewed as "celebrations" and spontaneous gatherings, and not as protests or organized demonstrations.[5][6] This stance allows Critical Mass to argue a legal position that its events can occur without advance notification of local police.[7][8] Though they are sometimes described as political, they are not necessarily
