WHAT IS CRITICAL MASS?
CRITICAL MASS is a gathering of cycling enthusiasts in a place and then have a ridein a city or town. It is critical for the environment, critical for promoting cycling as an alternative source of transport,critical for making the motorized traffic aware of our existence, and most importantly, critical for the cycling communityto come together. Critical Mass has no leaders. It’s a bicycling event. There is no national group that licenses localrides. In every city that has a CM, one or more cyclists just picked a day and time and started handing out fliers. You don’t need anyone to authorize your ride. You just do it.
Your sincerely,
Niranjan Thongbam
Secretary, Manipur Cycle Club (MCC)
