"Critical Mass is a worldwide movement to promote the use of bicycles (and other people powered machines) as a viable means of transportation. It has arisen in response to what many call the “car-culture:†an overdependence on the private automobile. More than anything else, it is a reclamation of street space and a demonstration to show that the city belongs to people and not to machines, auto manufacturers or oil companies. It has been described as a cross between a protest and a party parade. Come on out and decide for yourself. The rides move at a very, very leisurely pace and are always free. All are welcome, as long as they’re people powered (please no mopeds or Spooky-Tooths). Outrageous self-expression is encouraged, but so are helmets and bike lights."
