After a long break, Nottingham Critical Mass is going to be up and running (well cycling) again this month. It's a mass cycle ride, with no particular route except where we want to go, that will happen on the last Friday of every month. Meet at 5.30pm on Friday 29th July, by the Victoria Centre clocktower to enjoy a fun and sociable bike ride.

As the blog says:

'a route is not planned but will most likely end somewhere sociable, Bring flags, trailers, music and fun. come for a relaxed ride with friends and strangers'

From critical-mass.info:

'Critical Mass is a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road. The idea started in San Francisco in September 1992 and quickly spread to cities all over the world.

Critical Mass has a different flavor from city to city -- there's a big variety in size, respect of traffic laws (or lack thereof), interaction with motorists, and intervention by police. So if you want to know more about Critical Mass, you'll really need to find out what your local ride is like. .

Critical Mass has no leaders, and no central organization licenses rides. In every city that has a CM ride, some locals simply picked a date, time, and location for the ride and publicized it, and thus the ride was born.

CM is an idea and an event, not an organization. You can't write to "Critical Mass" -- certainly not by writing to me.

Let's get Nottingham's Critical Mass up to speed again, every month!
