Started in San Francisco, but now happening in over 1000 cities around the globe, Critical Mass is a bicycle event held on the last Friday of every month. Founded in 1992, the ride was originally to demonstrate how unfriendly the city was to cyclists, but the leaderless structure of Critical Mass makes it impossible to assign it to any one specific goal. It is a meeting in a set location and time and travelling through the city streets to celebrate the bike and its relationship with the urban context and the bicycle as the most efficient, peaceful and perfect mode of transport. We invite you to create this event in your home town or join this happenings on the last Friday of every month for a monthly cycle ride in the city. Bring always someone you know who’s got a bike; make some flyers and go around your town sticking them on bikes or giving them to cyclists; speak to the person next to you at the traffic lights and tell them about it; do whatever you think will make more people come. This isn’t a protest, its a celebration….that can be transformed into protest if necessary! Just send us the pictures you take during your happening. The picture you see, was taken in Budapest.
