Critical Mass 10th birthday pedals common sense

Friday 27 September 5:30pm, Civic Square, Wellington - Cyclists will gather and ride on Friday evening to mark the 10th anniversary of Critical Mass.

Bring your bike, skates, blades or scooter for a celebration of things human-powered. We’ll go for a short ride around town spreading good karma.

Critical Mass started on September 25, 1992, in San Francisco. 10 years later, it's still going strong and has spread to over 300 cities.

Is it art? Is it politics? Is it sport? Is it a party?

Critical Mass is a monthly “unorganised coincidence” occurring in hundreds of cities worldwide. Cyclists ride in a group through the city streets to celebrate cycling, fossil-fuel-free transportation, redefining of the social space of our cities and reclaim autonomy in a car dominated society. It's heaps of fun too. Make new friends. Claim your place on the roads. Save the planet.

The revolution is coming and it’s riding a bike.

BYO music and costume. Invite a friend or 3.
