WHAT: CRITICAL MASS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Critical Mass is an event held typically on the last Friday of every month in cities around the world, where bicyclists, skateboarders, roller bladers, roller skaters and other self-propelled people take to the streets en masse. Critical Mass is not led, and as a group has no goals other than to meet once a month and enjoy the security and companionship of riding, rolling and traveling through the city together. The general philosophy is expressed by a widely used slogan: We aren't blocking traffic; we are traffic.
Critical Mass rides are self-organized and independent- often 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. There is often a backdrop of protest: through doing it actively and in full public view, participants demonstrate the advantages of cycling in a city, and show how the city may be failing cyclists in terms of facilities and safety.

A correction and a reminder. First things first, the correction: this will NOT be Miami's FIRST Critical Mass- there have been several others organized by awesome folks in the South Florida area. Secondly, the reminder: Critical Mass is two weeks away! Don't forget to mark your calendars if you haven't already, and get that bike in good working shape! We can't wait to see all of you there!
