Sydney Critical Mass
On the last Friday of every month, in hundreds of cities worldwide, cyclists, bladers and boarders meet for a rolling celebration of non-motorised transport. It's a welcoming space where people feel safe.
Sydney's Critical Mass gathers from 17:30 on the last Friday of every month. We leave the Archibald Fountain at the north end of Hyde Park (here's a map) at about 18:00 and ride around for about an hour.
Critical Mass also happens everyday when its participants
- share ideas on the email mailing lists or over a beer
- write letters to newspapers, politicians, local papers and magazines.
- print and distribute flyers and posters in bike shops and cafes and on the rides
- print t-shirts and paint banners
- chat to politicians and the media
- participate at transport conferences
- get involved in Bicycle New South Wales
- organise media stunts
- hold displays at cycling events
- ...and so the list goes on.
