The goal of the Las Vegas Critical Mass is to increase awareness of cycling as a fun and healthy lifestyle, and to assert cyclists' right to the road.
Critical Mass is not led, and has no officially-stated message, though it is largely understood to be an effort to promote alternative (non-motorized) modes of transportation and to raise awareness about the safety issues that face commuters using non-motorized forms of transportation when sharing the streets with motor vehicles.
Riders meet at a set location and time and enjoy the security and companionship of traveling as a group through city streets. This can cause a disruption of motorized traffic, but the general philosophy behind the ride is expressed in the widely-used slogan, " />
Critical Mass rides are self-organized, non-commercial and non-competitive, and they operate with diffused and informal decision-making, independent of "leaders". They are often also unofficial, foregoing permits and official sanction from municipal authorities. Usually only the meeting place, date and time are fixed. In some cities, the route, finishing point, or attractions along the way may be planned ahead. Participants demonstrate the advantages of cycling in a city, and show how the city may be failing cyclists in terms of facilities and safety.
What is myspace good for if we don't talk to our friends?! We're The Central Powers from Las Vegas We dig on talking to you guys! So, with that being said...how's life?
I rode San Diego Critical Mass by complete accident last night. Randomly enough I was in town to buy a bike. Anyways, their ride is out of hand! There had to have been 1000+ people in the ride and the Police were all for helping it get along smoothly. We need to get a larger turnout....you have 800+ friends on here. They should all be at the next ride!
