Great little film
Copenhagenize has found a gem of a film here from Bupapest. This event looks to be quite different from the Sydney version, where the organisers want you to ride as slowly and annoyingly as possible. Here, it seems to be all about being anti-car.
I like the idea of critical mass in principle, but after seeing a ride in Melbourne where about 30 or so loons made prats of themselves disrupting traffic I figured it's not for me. I can understand the desire to make a change but the message seemd to be one about futile grandstanding that wasn't likely to convince anyone of anything much. If you could get a thousand cyclists riding at a desent clip to take over a road and assert their road rights then I would like to be a part of that.
