An open group for everyone who believes that cycling is the best and most fun means of transport! Join our monthly celebration of cycling in Glasgow city centre! All you need to bring is yourself, your bike (or any other non-motorised means of transport), and off we go...
When?
Every last Friday of the month, 5.30pm
Where?
George Square, Glasgow
What?
Critical Mass is a movement without leaders to promote cycling as a superior alternative to car culture by showing the world that cycling is healthy for the environment and for ourselves, sociable and lots of fun! People come together (typically on the last Friday of every month) in cities around the world where bicyclists and also unicyclists, skateboarders, inline skaters, roller skaters and other self-propelled commuters take to the streets en masse, and create a safe and social space by cycling together in a group. It's not about "pissing car drivers off" by being aggressive or confrontational. Instead, we reclaim the streets by making the statement that
WE ARE TRAFFIC!
And?
We sometimes hold special events, which have included the Magical Mystery Tour, the Big Bike Blessing, Halloween Critical Mass, and special bike related film showings and performances in collaboration with The Swarm, Camcorder Guerrillas, Glasgow Kiss and other groups - so join this group if you want to be kept up to date and/or create your own events (even if you don't live in Glasgow, or happen to not yet have joined our fast growing community of cyclists all over the world...)
And...
My Bike Fancies Your Bike! Don't forget to invite others to join this group, or the riseup list...
