Critical Mass Wiki

Critical Mass WikiHello Critical Mass folk!

Have you seen the new Critical Mass wiki information site? It's at:

http://criticalmass.wikia.com/

Like Wikipedia it's user-editable, so anyone can edit and add pages. What
this means is that information can be added, for free, to publicise any
local ride! For example:

http://criticalmass.wikia.com/wiki/Sydney
http://criticalmass.wikia.com/wiki/Brighton
http://criticalmass.wikia.com/wiki/Chicago

There's a fairly comprehensive list of rides that has come from the old
Wikipedia page on the subject:

http://criticalmass.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_rides

Please help grow this site by adding any information where you see a red
link or out-of-date information. It'll help to advertise your local ride.

You have to register with Wikia to make edits, but this is free and easy:

http://criticalmass.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup

Please copy and paste this message to anyone you know who's involved in
local Critical Mass rides. Spread the word!

Vive la velorution!

Ever felt like cycling in the city - but been too scared? Want to go green, get fit and make friends? Critical Mass is a happy coincidence of cyclists who meet up every month to make our streets safer, saner and more fun. Come along and find out about Critical Mass Glasgow - we'll show films, have a chat and maybe decorate our bikes for the next run. Plus information on road safety and other cycling groups. Everyone welcome, BYO bike if you want!

Glasgow Women's Library, 81 Parnie Street, Glasgow
Thursday 15th February from 6.30pm

Vanunu Freedom Ride

Faslane - Edinburgh - London April 2007 On 21st April 2007, Mordechai Vanunu will have been held captive in Israel for 21 years. For telling the world that Israel was secretly developing nuclear weapons, Vanunu spent 18 years in prison – 12 of these in solitary confinement. Vanunu was released from prison in April 2004, but is still not free. His freedom of speech, movement and association are all severely restricted in clear contravention of his human rights. He is denied a passport, and not even allowed to leave East Jerusalem without permission. He is forbidden to communicate with foreigners or discuss Israel’s nuclear weapons, and suffers continuing harassment by the Israeli authorities. 21 years’ detention is 21 years too long. Website
