Purpose

This web site is devoted to keeping track of every place that has or has had a Critical Mass bicycle ride. Critical Mass is a worldwide movement, not an organization, so this is not in any sense an official web site, nor does it offer any content of its own. Instead, what you'll find here is a catalog of links to hundreds of Critical Mass web sites around the world -- including other catalogs.

Contact

Anyone who knows of Critical Mass rides and links that aren't on this site is encouraged to contact the webmaster. (Flames will be ignored, spam will elicit a vigorous reprisal.)

Details

Most of the sites linked to are in English.

Most Critical Mass rides listed here are still active, though some have gone into hibernation. One can tally up the locations and use this web site as a source, but bear in mind what's being documented here. What we know is that "Critical Mass has spread to over 400 places," but not, "Critical Mass is now taking place in over 400 places." Of course, it's likely that there are more Critical Mass rides going on that haven't been counted yet. (Contact the webmaster if you know of any.)

This site, as you may have noticed, is pretty simple and has very few graphics. (I figure they should at least have a bicycle image on them, which I clipped from the image to the right of this paragraph.) The idea is to make the site friendly to any browser on any slow connection in the world. There are only a few web pages on this site itself, and links to them will be in bold text, whereas links to other pages will be in normal text. (The 10th Anniversary page does have a lot of graphics, but it was for a very special occasion!)

New links are indicated with:(New!)   This means that the listing itself is new. The ride itself or the site being linked to might have been going on for years.

Persistently broken links are indicated with: (Broken)   Web sites shift and change, as does the reliability of the networks leading to them. This site's policy is to hang onto broken links for a while, since many broken links will suddenly start working again.
