Totally Critical Mass

Angie and Cosi on Nowy Swiat

Every last Friday of every month of the year, bicyclists across the globe get out for a 'fun' protest bike ride during rush hour in most cities on our planet. This is Angie, Cosi and I doing just that in Warszawa

The riders depart at 6 PM from Castle Square (Plac Zamkowy), with police escorts and about 2 to 3 dozen support riders (flag bearers, traffic controllers, first-aiders and thumpin' music providers :)




This ride turned out to be a 'Mall Shopper Stopper' ride, as we linked every major mall from the city center out west to the newish Factory outlet mall. However, if the serious shoppers were out... they probably were already in the malls and were still in there as we came riding by!
Cosi was using her apartment/city bike, a nice, little compact model that got lots of looks-kind of like a Bike Friday model.

We had at least 3,000 to 4,000 riders... maybe the next will be the biggest!

See you on the road!
