Description

What is Critical Mass?
Critical Mass is a worldwide movement to promote the use of bicycles as a viable means of transportation. It has arisen in response to what many call the “car-culture:” an overdependence on the private automobile. It is, more than anything else, a reclamation of space, a demonstration to show that the city belongs to people and not machines. Here is an excellent description of CM from former Chicago masser Adam Kessel in response to Boston CM critics.

How did it get started?
It started in August 1992 in San Francisco when a group of bicycle commuters decided to ride home together.
