The World Wide Movement

Critical Mass is a world-wide leaderless movement.  No formal organization structure exists for Critical Mass, it is merely all the people in any given city who want to ride their bikes together as Critical Mass.  The point is to raise awareness of the existence of bicyclists, the need for infrastructure, and generally make the statement 'we are traffic' .  (Feel free to edit or modify this description)

In Conway

Critical Mass has happened on and off for a number of years.  Cyclists gather the last Friday of the month (world wide day for Critical Mass) at 5:30pm or 6 (depending on the season; for light)  in Simon Park on Front Street.  The groups sets the route and rides, occupying a lane when numbers permit, in a joyous fashion.  A local favorite for riders in the Critical Mass are the 1 lane roundabouts which, if numbers are up over 15 or so, can be entirely occupied by cyclists.  Often the crowd makes two circles to enjoy.

The ride is not competitive and every attempt is made to stay together as a large group.
