Critical Mass-A Cycling Celebration

he 14th Critical Mass- is HERE I am Riding... Are You??

Date & Time : Last Saturday of every month this time 30 th jan 2010 @ 5:15PM

MEET POINT : SHIVAJI PARK outside SPG tennis court

End Point :

Ride Distance:
Considered Compulsory: NOTHING....
------------------------------------------
NOTE: During Critical mass
We ride in a particular formation; we take up a lane with two riders riding side by side.
The reason for this formation is to protect the not so experienced bikers from the traffic.
There is a tendency to slip through spaces in chock a block traffic. While that is an advantage a cycle has in traffic, but during critical mass with quite a few inexperienced riders every time the formation is broken we put riders in danger.
And believe me there are a lot of riders that are not comfortable with riding in traffic.
So please stick to the formation it makes it safer and easier to manage.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Manners :
• Please follow lane discipline and road signals where necessary.
• Helmets dont bite! try them. They can be your best friend on your bike
• Please Carry Water with you ( Backpacks/ Bottle Holders)
• There is no leader/ organizer for Critical Mass.All for one,One for all.
• This is not a race. Ride without Hurry, not with Fury.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Critical mass is a small initiative to give back power to the people. Weather it is environmental issues, social issues or cyclist’s rights. The small act of riding together says that we matter and cannot be taken for granted. Start small, take charge! Ride free!

Comment by ADIL. B. GAZDAR. on February 21, 2010 at 12:40pm: Hi Guys,
Our presence & our rights need to be upheld on the roads. Hope we can collectively make a difference.

Comment by vi on February 2, 2010 at 12:15am: The route this time on the 31Jan CM was nice, possibly the most leisurely and scenic.
But the dilemma of CM is that it encourages us to ride in traffic, in large masses, and spread the word. Do you think there can be a compromise?
