Bikes are the most energy efficient form of transport and the
most appropriate mode of transport for the city.
Thank you for waiting for us. It is important for us to stay
together for our safety. We would like to feel safe on our
roads all the time.
Critical Mass is not an
exercise to annoy motorists. The point is to show
everyone - commuters, pedestrians and residents that there is
a better way to get around. Once people see how much fun
cycling can be, and how much safer and more pleasant it makes
their streets, the thinking behind our car-oriented transport
policies will be challenged.
Next time you go for a walk or ride, take a few minutes to
look around and picture your city free of cars. What would
the streets be filled with? What would your city smell like,
sound like, and feel like without cars? If you can envision a
street filled with hundreds of bicycles, casually riding down
your street, breathing clean air, the serenity broken only by
conversations between riders, and the occasional chime of a
bell, then you've just pictured Critical Mass.
Please remember: always give cyclists at least one
metre clearance and slow down when passing; we
endeavour to be considerate towards motorists, but
sometimes we may feel the need to take our
entitlement of a full lane - please respect our need
to feel safe
