Mass for Critical Mass!

IMC Birmingham | 11.04.2007 21:25 | Ecology | Free Spaces | Birmingham

Birmingham's Critical Mass has been steadily growing to reclaim the city's roads, where people are often forced by petroleum guzzling road users to ride dangerously in the gutter. This month's ride saw over 30 people, joined by a few skaters and BMXers, joyfully cycling along the City Centre's main roads and streets, accompanied by a trailer sound system pumping out cycling-related grooves, without any intervention from cops or psychotic car drivers. Last month's ride saw a cap driver attempting to undercut the mass and colliding with a cyclist. It also saw attempts by the police to intervene in the Mass.

Birmingham Critical Mass takes place on the first Friday of every month. Poeple usually meet up at 5:30pm in Pigeon Park (St Philip’s Cathedral) and set off at about 6pm for a spontaneous ride around the city centre.

Recent Rides reports: April | March | February | January: cyclist wins re-trial

I've seen this flyer somewhere else before (US?). Our current flyers are cool because their unique to Birmingham. If we want new flyers we should make our own IMHO.

Peace.

Hey Bubba, why piss on someone's bonfire when they have decided compile a new flyer?

So what if it borrowed from another CM, it looks really cool, the more flyers the better!
