DIFFERENT FUN THEMES EVERY MONTH!

Critical Mass is your once a month opportunity to ride in SAFETY and style.
Assert your right to travel safely on roads, and not in the car door lane.
(Car door lanes are too narrow, cycle safely in the left hand lane)
Sustainable transport, not 2nd class citizens.
Meet people, share skills, make new friends.
Unsponsored and unaffiliated, Critical Mass is an intentional community
in motion, one that brings life back to the car dominated streets of our
fabulous city. Critical Mass is Pollution Free Traffic, Safety in Numbers, Party on Wheels.

If you think riding a bike is too hard or too dangerous, then you are doing it wrong.

Grassroots, sustainable push bike culture in action!
Promoting Sustainable Culture by being in the public using a non-consumeristic,
clean, safe, fun thing.
Ride an "old" bike that doesn't require buying things to run, bikes don't waste
resources, bikes help solve consumeristic climate change chaos culture!
We will ride around handing out info flyers to the community.
