    Oh, I was confused. I thought critical mass meant like enough people. Are riding bikes regularly to influence traffic policy.

    Wish that would happen where I live.

      You’d be surprised how many small cities have a CM or similar. If there isn’t one yet, start one! Organize and get active

        Indeed! 🚲💪

        Oh by the way, do you have any laws for CM in US?

        I just know that in Germany groups of 16+ cyclists are allowed to stay together - even while crossing a red light. Bigger CM may even be registered demonstrations with police protection sometimes.

          lol. I know nothing. 😂 Part of the local US law here is, because it not an “organized” event and just seems to happen, it is not subject to extra scrutiny or something. But again have no real idea
