Critical Mass is a happening of cyclists in cities around the world, often used as an activist tool to bring attention to cycling's place in the urban mobility mix. It usually happens on the last Friday of the month. Google "critical mass (your city)" to find out where yours is, and read some reports. Many advocates see it as bad PR (the Mass often breaks traffic laws and further snarls already snarled traffic, usually on purpose); others simply love it for the joy of riding in such a huge pack.

I've seen it mentioned in here a couple of times, but I haven't really caught on to what it is you mean.

Especially handy for those of us with kids around, and when you don't want to have to lay your load on its side like in this photo... (I know there is a stand available, but it doesn't work with the wideloader.) Surely there has to be a way...

I've got photos of me hauling a more modest load: about 55 pounds of cliff bars for the Marin County Bike Coalition's "Bike To Work Day" musette bags from central Novato to Fairfax. I didn't get any photoss of the box I brought back which weighed only about 45 pounds. I guess I should upload em to the community section eh? Nice job Mauricio! Nice!
