Welcome to a site for Critical Mass Winnipeg. Critical Mass is the name for a self-organised group of self-propelled people on bicycles, skateboards, and foot who come together to travel the streets. Everyone has their own reasons to participate, among them:

• celebrating self-propelled transport
• drawing attention to the links between cars as transportation and resource wars
• reclaiming rightful space on the road
• calling for more support for alternative transportation
• fun!

For more background, check the links.

By popular demand, this site will feature a discussion forum. Some time.
