In the city of Murcia has been held since November 2006, with the current format, and in the month of September came to attending more than 150 people.
This would be the second stage of critical mass in Murcia, because in 2003 it was held for several months on Saturday morning.
Critical Mass now also exists in Lorca and Cartagena. Use the bike every day, celebrate it once a month. What is Critical Mass? The term critical mass was coined by George Bliss (American designer of human-powered vehicles).
He called the phenomenon in China.
At intersections without traffic lights, cyclists accumulate to reach such a number that allows them to cross safely. This description was released in the documentary "Return of the Scorcher" (1992) and cycling director Ted White. The first celebrations were held in San Francisco in 1992.
Originally they called "Commute Clot", but soon changed its name to Critical Mass.
The term is related to social theories that say that a social revolution is possible when it shows a certain amount (a "critical mass") of popular support. The first critical mass in San Francisco were 58 people, but in less than a year and were about 500.
After the movement was spreading through the rest of the United States and the rest of the world. Blog with more information about the Critical Mass Murcia: http://masacriticademurcia.
