Critical Mass

bike riders in Chicago

Got a bike? Think it’s a fast, cheap and environmentally friendly way to travel?

You’re certainly not the only one.

In more than 300 cities across the globe, thousands of cyclists are taking to the streets to celebrate greener transport. This global movement has gained incredible popularity under the banner “Critical Mass” since 1992.

With safety in numbers, bike enthusiasts are able to gain access to urban environments that are usually overrun with cars.

Although plans differ from city to city, riders usually meet on the last Friday of every month. On September 22, a massive ride in Budapest, Hungary will celebrate International Car Free Day. As many as 80,000 participants are expected to attend.
