Up to 1.500 people participated in the cellebration of the 10th anniversary of the Critical Mass in London, which included a samba band on wheels, 3 mobile sound systems, live music and lots of good humor and a carnival atmosphere. Traffic was brought to a halt all over central London for over 3 hours, where the streets temporarily became open spaces for people to use and enjoy without the hegemony of the car culture.

Happy Birthday Critical Mass ... and looking forward to ten more years! :-)
