London Critical Mass will be celebrating our 11th year of monthly bike rides on April 29th.
Last year we had (at least) 800 cyclists out on the streets, we had a bike samba band, live guitar from a rickshaw, multiple sound systems, bikes the like of which we have never seen. It was massive, and we want to do it again!
We meet on the southbank at Waterloo (NFT Cafe under Waterloo Bridge) from 6pm till about 6:30 on the last Friday of every month, then ride around London together without the danger of cars and lorries, everyone brings their own ideas to the mass, feel free to bring yours!

just seen the start of Marathon Man though which includes a mass bicycle ride as environmental protest and that was made in 1976, maybe Chris Carlsson got the idea after a night at the flicks???? Now there's an interesting project for some academic to get their teeth into.
Keep on pedalling, love one of yer own.

Chris Carlsson's idea was independent of this!

One aspect that distinguishes Critical Mass from these early rides is that they keep going on, month after month, and even more frequently in some places!
