Critical Mass is a spontaneous self-assembly of hundreds of cyclists who, taking advantage of the number (mass), invade the roads normally used by motor traffic. If the mass is sufficient (ie critical), the cycling is also blocked traffic on arterial roads.
Born in San Francisco in 1992 and spread quickly gaining more than a hundred cities in at least fourteen countries, Critical Mass is a clear gesture of protest claiming the use of alternative means to fight the spread of automobile traffic and pollution, and to pave the way for future mobility and ecological sustainability.
In Turin, Critical Mass, is particularly active, up to date and at the forefront of the battles in support of cycling in the city. In recent weeks, for example, was the only voice of dissent and criticism to the proposed abolition of the newest bike paths in the center. In two days of protest, have invaded indicted in mass bike lanes, demonstrating that they are not to abolish them but to improve and above all to enforce, reminding detractors that all the ecological and sustainable mobility is a sign of civilization as well as good sense.
Torino Critical Mass is every first Saturday of the month at 16.00 and third Thursday of each month at 21 in the Town Hall square.
