Critical Mass EventCelebrate Critical Mass, a movement of thousands (and twice as many wheels), as its members reclaim public space and put bicycling and transit smack-dab in the middle of contemporary politics.
On Wednesday, July 30, author/editor Chris Carlsson will lead a discussion of his book, "Critical Mass: Bicycling's Defiant Celebration," which includes essays, personal anecdotes and photos by activists and theorists from San Francisco, Montreal, Milan, Sydney and other cities. Also, Ted White's documentary on the movement, "(We Aren't Blocking Traffic) WE ARE TRAFFIC!" will be screened. And don't miss the local footage of critical mass rides in Washington, DC.
Explore Critical Mass and the fun, complexity and struggle of social change at the Brian MacKenzie Center Infoshop, 1426 Ninth St. NW (at P Street), on Wednesday, July 30, at 7:30 p.m.
