Critical Mass Exeter    First Saturday of every month. Meet midday - Cathedral Green.      Next Critical Mass . . . 7th November (The Anniversay Ride)

What's it all about? Critical Mass is an 'unorganised coincidence'. It happens when a lot of cyclists happen to be in the same place at the same time and decide to cycle the same way together for a while. What's the purpose? "Everyday, all over the world, people are resisting the problem culture of the car by getting on their bikes and riding, instead of driving. Critical Mass is a celebration of cycling as a sustainable form of transport, but it's also a chance to meet local like minded people and to work to campaign for real change, things such as this group was set up: safe alternative cycle routes for recreation, exercise and commuting such as the need for a route between Exeter and Crediton!! Critical Mass is not part of any local or national organisation, it's just a group of people on bikes! What happens on a Critical Mass? Each one is different and they follow no set route, with the direction being spontaneously chosen as people cycle along. Anyone is free to join or leave the ride as it pedals along. The ride lasts no more than a couple of hours (depending on the weather!) and usually ends up back at Cathedral Green. Most all, they are peaceful, safe and fun! Do I need a bike? Nope! Critical Mass is not just for bikes - skateboards, roller blades, wheelchairs, pogo sticks - in fact any form of non-motorised, non-polluting are all very welcome! First Saturday of every month. Meet midday - Cathedral Green. Dress up, bring horns/bells, musical instruments etc
