Critical Mass-A Cycling Celebration

he 16th Critical Mass- is HERE I am Riding... Are You??

Date & Time : Last Saturday of every month this time 27 th March 2010 @ 5:15PM

MEET POINT : SHIVAJI PARK outside SPG tennis court

End Point : Worli Seaface

Ride Distance: 14 kms
Considered Compulsory: NOTHING....
------------------------------------------
NOTE: During Critical mass
We ride in a particular formation; we take up a lane with two riders riding side by side.
The reason for this formation is to protect the not so experienced bikers from the traffic.
There is a tendency to slip through spaces in chock a block traffic. While that is an advantage a cycle has in traffic, but during critical mass with quite a few inexperienced riders every time the formation is broken we put riders in danger.
And believe me there are a lot of riders that are not comfortable with riding in traffic.
So please stick to the formation it makes it safer and easier to manage.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Manners :
• Please follow lane discipline and road signals where necessary.
• Helmets dont bite! try them. They can be your best friend on your bike
• Please Carry Water with you ( Backpacks/ Bottle Holders)
• There is no leader/ organizer for Critical Mass.All for one,One for all.
• This is not a race. Ride without Hurry, not with Fury.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Critical mass is a small initiative to give back power to the people. Weather it is environmental issues, social issues or cyclist’s rights. The small act of riding together says that we matter and cannot be taken for granted. Start small, take charge! Ride free!

Comment by Devang Shah on June 16, 2010 at 9:49am: What does it matter, how many people come. Who ever wants to do the CM should get together and do it. Keep up the CM.

Comment by shammi sethi on June 16, 2010 at 12:17am: this ride wont die lets get together and make it happen a big ride -lets get cm back guys what say

Comment by Mehul Ved on June 9, 2010 at 9:06pm: I can speak for myself, CM is dead and I am not interested in it anymore. It is pointless to have a CM where 3-4 people join for a small ride. No one's even going to take notice. When no one's bothered what's the point?
People like me definitely don't need CM. I don't need cycling lanes nor do I care how popular cycling is. I enjoy my cycling and will surely encourage people who're really interested and come forward.

Comment by Zubair Lodi on June 9, 2010 at 8:55pm: Hey Riders its a shame dat Critical Mass is dying in our city where there are more dan 2000 cyclists. Many cyclist are not even aware of it. there are few cyclists who ve come up wid an idea of doing short rides in der locality evryday and 1ce month they all come together ride this is 1 way we can keep the CM alive n riders aware in our city.

Comment by Raj Janagam on April 23, 2010 at 7:19pm: Have i missed the post? Where is April's CM? Anybody made any plans?

Comment by Rahul Dinesh Gaoshinde on March 26, 2010 at 2:57pm: We shouldn't really bother about traffic. Mehul, route suggested by you can be finalized.
Please broadcast it.
Cheers

Comment by Mehul Ved on March 24, 2010 at 11:46pm: We could start somewhere near Dadar TT and ride to Worli Sea Face to Haji Ali and back. Or would there be too much traffic jam?

Comment by Niranjan kalelkar on March 24, 2010 at 11:44pm: we can take worli seaface rout this time
wht do u say?

Comment by Mehul Ved on March 24, 2010 at 10:26pm: We're 3 days away from the next CM. What route do we take this time around?

Comment by ADIL. B. GAZDAR. on February 21, 2010 at 12:40pm: Hi Guys,
Our presence & our rights need to be upheld on the roads. Hope we can collectively make a difference.
