It is impossible to give credit to one place, one time, one person for the starting of any social movement, as it takes the ideas, energy and enthusiasm of countless people to reach a 'Critical Mass', but San Francisco, September 1992, certainly marked itself clearly on the map as a launch-pad for the Critical Mass movement, going on from there to spread throughout the world to all nine(?) corners of the globe and taking place in an estimated 325 cities. Now after seventeen years it is still growing and currently takes place in four cities around Ireland (that we know of?). In true DIY style Critical Mass co-incidentally returned to the streets of Belfast and Dublin simultaneously on Friday the 25th of September last after being sorely missed by many for a long time. To their credit Cork and Galway have been keeping it going for many years now (albeit in an on-off fashion). ... read full story / add a comment
