What is Critical Mass?
Critical Mass is a grassroots social event wherein bicyclists gather together and collectively occupy the streets in a fun, celebratory reclamation of public space. Critical Mass began in September 1992 in San Francisco, and has since spread to more than 200 cities worldwide. Critical Mass creates a social space where people escape the alienation of metal pods (cars) and gain the ability to converse about issues and concerns with others in their community. Join us!
