20 Years of Critical Mass
After twenty years, as this global phenomenon continues to grow, the riders are more determined then ever to congregate in the name of fun, friendship and freedom, spontaneously collaborating to create streets without cars.
Kill the Car! (But share it first)
The car has made us alienated and fat.
Peter Drew Arts
Drew creates awesome, switched on, uncommissioned art for the urban landscape. These works can be found in Berlin, Glasgow, London and Adelaide.
Riders of Rohan Assemble! It is CRITICAL MASS
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!
Fresh Air Flash Mob Debrief
Yesterday evening a group of us met up with Climate Rush in a London square. After a couple of brief rousing speeches we cycled to one of London’s busiest and most polluted junctions and reclaimed it from the cars. Lying on the floor with the pressure of four lanes of motorized traffic baring down, irate drivers pumping their horns and police taking our photos and removing our bikes it did occur to me that we might be mad.

The Solution to Pollution
Air pollution is a problem for other places, for example, Beijing, where all those dirty factories churn out the products we buy… or is it?
The Royal Wedding goes CRITICAL
What better way to celebrate the royal wedding then by joining Critical Mass!? Together, hundreds of cyclists will ride on an epic tour of the capital; a mighty, people-powered salute!
UFO sightings in Rio
There has not been much news since although there have been rumours he had reinvented himself as a conceptual artist and had started a chapter of Critical Mass in Rio… until now. It appears that Mark has been working together with his co-conspirator Thais Medeiros and a group of extra-terrestrials. They are excited by the role of alien intervention in our technological evolution. Now the question on everyone’s lips is “what will their next intervention be?!”
A Critical Mass of dissent… on wheels
On the last Friday of every month something strange, spontaneous and spectacular happens on the streets of central London.
The 45 Metre Underground Club
The mile high club is for irresponsible yuppies. The cool kids are getting down and dirty 45m below sea level. A secret and fruity underground society has been spicing up European travel with sexy visits to the water closet while hurtling under the channel tunnel. Is our fast track to the world’s most romantic city fast becoming a giant Tunnel of Love?
Why bikes shouldn’t have to follow the rules of the road
Cyclists are safer to carefully go ahead of traffic and jump reds because this makes them more visible to cars. Making this illegal endangers lives. If it is legal for pedestrians to cross a road anywhere irrespective of lights… why can’t cyclists? We are of comparable size and shape and weight. The cyclist and the pedestrian are actually interchangeable.
