Berkeley Critical Mass is for everyone!
Riders gather every second Friday of the month
at Constitution Plaza (main entrance, Downtown Berkeley
BART) starting around 5:30 PM, leaving
together to roll after 6:00 PM.
New direction for the ride? Read the discussion from the community!
Critical Mass is a global non-authoritarian movement
What that means to you? It's a fun ride!
Each ride is unique, each ride is your stage.
INVITE SOMEONE
There are often Post-Ride Events!
SHARE THOUGHTS
Riders share perspectives on what makes a great experience for all.
Animations: squirt ride! ** flocculation! (o-turns)
VIDEO!
of celebration, street reclamation and demonstration.
There is no specific political platform.
Critical Mass is a rolling free speech stage and playground
(funny how you do get a lot of people who like bikes :)
Rolling furniture ensures your comfort.
(print and distribute this 4-up flyer
designed for the week before the mass -- it has no date)
and the joy of the ride by reaching out with flyers (front, back).

For some of these, if you don't already have it, you'll need the RealVideo player, they make it hard to find the totally free one -- ignore anything about "14-day free trial" and giving a credit card, with persistence you should be able to find it. As of Nov. 14, 2002 you can find a link at top right to "FREE RealOne Player", going to that page, in the bottom right there's "Download Free RealOne player only", then you have to choose the basic version, then you have to follow the installation instructions.
Sorry, it's a corporate product!

Not all Critical Massers ride bicycles! Wheelchair riders, runners, and skaters of all flavors
It would be nice to have help with this website, there's a lot
These two strips of photos were taken from a collection located on
another SF Bay Area RTS webpage, from the September 26, 2000 ("S26") demonstration
which included a Critical Mass-like ride as part of the protest.

are welcome! The ride is usually slower than a runner, but faster than some chairs,
and skaters can usually find a pull up any hills. Diversity encouraged.
of GREAT stuff that could be put on it!
