About me:
We ride on the last Friday of every month. We meet at 6:30pm in Government Center. Bring your bike and your friends with bikes!
*Disclaimer
We are not the 2nd Saturday of the month 10am Emerge Miami / Meetup Group Critical Mass.
Who I'd like to meet: Critical Mass is an event typically held on the last Friday of every month in cities around the world where bicyclists and, less frequently, unicyclists, skateboarders, inline skaters, roller skaters and other self-propelled commuters take to the streets en masse. While the ride was originally founded with the idea of drawing attention to how unfriendly the city was to bicyclists, the leaderless structure of Critical Mass makes it impossible to assign it any one specific goal. In fact, the purpose of Critical Mass is not formalized beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets.
The Story Behind the Name
"The name "Critical Mass" is taken from Ted White's 1992 documentary film about bicycling, "Return of the Scorcher". In the film, George Bliss describes a typical scene in China, where cyclists often cannot cross intersections because there is automobile cross-trafic and no traffic lights. Slowly, more and more cyclists amass waiting to cross the road, and when there is a sufficient number of them -- a critical mass, as Bliss called it -- they are able to all move together with the force of their numbers to make cross traffic yield while they cross the road."
Every ten years, politicians in Tallahassee rig the playing field by carving out districts designed to keep them in power. They pick their voters rather than the voters picking them.
That's how President Obama convincingly won Florida, yet Republicans in the legislature maintained their ironclad majorities.
