Critical Mass

Submitted Tue, 2007-01-16 17:20 — Louise Rouse

What

Critical Mass is a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road.

One Idea is to have comparatively short (30-40 minute ) rides Bristol, hopefully this will allow us to make our point and communicate effectively with other road users.
See this explanation of critical mass

When

6:30pm on the last Friday of every month. Starting on January the 26th.

Where

Starting outside the Arnolfini, ending up at the Hatchet

Help

* Read about Traffic tactics and think about what role you can play to make the mass a safe and positive experience.

* Bring lot's of lights and reflective stuff.

* Print out 2 pages of bike strips and put them on bikes.

* Print out and bring 20 leaflets to hand out on the mass.
