Critical Mass is a means of direct action. It involves meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets on bikes.
Critical Mass Galway holds a community cycle every month for people of various ages and abilities to remind Galway that bikes and cars must share the road; that the Galway City Council needs to work more diligently on practical and innovative solutions to long-standing road issues; that city planning needs to do a better job at integrating all modes of transport, not just the automobile; and that bicycles are a fun, efficient and practical way of getting around the city.
Critical Mass Galway calls on all cyclists to obey the rules of the road, improve the relationship between drivers and cyclists, and increase cyclist visibility and awareness. We practive safe cycling and obey the rules of the road during all of our events.
Our community cycles are held during the first Saturday of every month at 12:00 noon. We cycle on Saturdays (compared to the traditional time of Friday afternoons) to be more inclusive of families with children. As well, our objective is not to clog up the streets of Galway during rush hour, but to develop a better rapport among drivers and cyclists.
