This Saturday evening something magical is afoot. The truck drivers will slow down, cars will roll down their windows, and motor bikes will stop and stare in awe as cycle lovers of Chennai will get their beloved bicycles out to ride around the city.
Chennai…make way for Critical Mass!
Critical Mass is an initiative for the growing cycling community to showcase their presence to the city and the world. People from all skill levels , ages, sexes and sizes will ride their cycles to show their love for the 2 wheeled wonder .
Critical Mass is a bike ride, not an organization, and no two riders participate for exactly the same reason. "What is Critical Mass?" is a question that has as many answers as participants. The only real way to answer the question is to join the ride yourself. To join in you just need to have 2 things ... a bicycle and love for bicycles :)
The proposed route is
IIT Main gate - SP Road 2wards Besant Nagar - around the beasnt nagar beach road - back to Insti.
We kick off at 4pm from the IIT campus and ride till we are tired.
It promises to be a fun filled ride replete with bike salutes and peaceful demonstrations. Stay tuned for more updates!

A short History of nearly everything about Critical Mass
The Critical Mass movement started in San Francisco on the Last Friday of September in the fall of 92. Following suit, a lot of cities around the world have started their own rides. Preserving the spirit of Critical Mass, different cities follow their own timings and dates of the month to complement local habits. However some have diverged/moved ahead of the concept and started similar rides but with starkly contrasting dates of the month to preserve originality :)
How will Chennai do it? Let's wait and watch.
