Boston Critical Mass is a grassroots cycling movement that initially thrived in the late 1990s and early 2000s, fostering a vibrant community of cyclists advocating for bicycle rights and awareness. After a period of inactivity, the group has re-emerged as of March 2024, leveraging platforms like Linktree and Instagram to organize events and engage with the cycling community.
The website serves as a historical archive of the movement's early days, featuring ride reports, photos, and important legal updates related to past events. While Boston Bike Party filled the void during Critical Mass's hiatus from 2013 to 2023, the revitalized organization continues to promote cycling culture in Boston.

Critical Mass sucks. It cheapens me as a cyclist, as a bike commuter, as a bike punk and as a citizen to take part in it. CM had a point, once. In San Francisco, the first Critical Mass ride...
