CRITICAL MASS
Critical Mass bike rides started in San Francisco in 1992 as a way of bringing people together in a festive reclaiming of public space. The first Mass attracted 60 cyclists, now thousands ride every month in hundreds of cities around the globe. Critical Mass is a celebration, not a protest, declaring, 'We don't block the traffic, we are the traffic!' Melbourne Critical Mass meets outside the State Library in Swanston Walk at 5:30 p.m. on the last Friday of every month. And through critical mass you can find Cranky Mary's, a monthly women's ride in Melbourne, and (I)Xpress, a bike courier network which provides services for street-based actions.
