Critical Mass cycling events can be somewhat controversial, even among committed cyclists. While we suspect the movie featured here may lean in one direction (we can't say for sure though) it is still worth a look no matter which way you lean, and is sure to be thought provoking regardless.
More info from the publicist follows:
The cycling phenomenon known as Critical Mass is a reclamation of public space that started in San Francisco in the early 1990s and spread by the internet throughout the world. On a set day, at the end of every month, 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. You Never Bike Alone charts the development of these mass rides in Vancouver and asks whether cycle activists are succeeding in their goals.
