What’s inside

• First Ride Checklist — A step-by-step guide to launching your first ride

Who is this for?

This toolkit is for anyone who wants to organize or help sustain a Critical Mass ride. You don’t need permission, a formal organization, or prior experience. Critical Mass is a decentralized movement — all you need is a time, a place, and people who want to ride.
