What is Critical Mass?

Critical Mass is a monthly bike ride where cyclists come together and claim our space on the streets. We are not protesting; we are celebrating by riding together and enjoying ourselves. We are also demonstrating that bicycle is a valid way of getting around.

We have cars here in LA. Why bike?

• Have you noticed that our air is almost always polluted with smog from cars we drive? If we all start to ride our bicycles just for short commutes, imagine how much gas and pollution that we can reduce.
• Aren't you stuck in traffic jams twice daily? Many bicyclists can testify that they can commute to work faster on their bicycles during the traffic hours then they can driving! Try it, maybe you can save 10-15 minutes!
• Bicycling is one of the great low impact aerobic exercise. Hey if you are spending one hour daily in the traffic sitting in your car, why not instead ride your bicycle and spend an hour working-out!
• Last but most important of all: It's FUN!!!!!
