Critical Mass is a vision of a happy, bike-friendly world replacing our polluted, congested roads, a protest for better cycling facilities and against car culture, a mobile paean to bicycling’s joys, a merry ride downtown and through the neighborhoods with friends, and more – all rolled into one convenient monthly ride right after work! Critical Mass is a party on two wheels to celebrate bicycling – a fast, friendly, clean, efficient, healthy, cheap, sensible, and fun way to get around the city. Critical Mass is not an organization. It is a coincidence. It is a xerocracy. Make your own flyers! Make a route map--maybe it will be followed! Bring a sign, noisemaker, or cupcakes to the ride! We ride on the last Friday of every month at 5:30 PM in Copley Square. This month, join thousands in over 200 cities worldwide, and hundreds in Boston The Bicycle Song (David Rovics) |

In the real world, you need only ride a bicycle and you have
reduced: air pollution, noise pollution, overconsumptive land
usage, marine oilslicks, millions of animal deaths, the incidence
of heart disease, the --- "It's the most fun you'll have all month on a bike!" "It's better than a century ride!" |
