The cycling phenomenon known as Critical Mass is a reclamation of public space that started in San Francisco in the early 1990s and spread with the help of the internet throughout the world. On a set day, at the end of every month (Fridays in Edinburgh), cyclists and other self-propelled people ride en masse through city streets.
Vancouver has become renowned for its big Critical Mass bike rides, and particularly the party spirit that attracts all types of cyclists. The film features footage shot over the last decade. Using interviews with motorists stuck in traffic, cyclists of all backgrounds and local politicians, some of whom ride on the Mass themselves, it asks whether Critical Mass and similarly styled rides are winning hearts and minds.
Followed by a discussion and Q&A about Critical Mass.
I’ve posted a higher resolution film trailer.
