Who are the organisers?
Nobody organises Critical Mass in the sense that they control the event – what happens at the ride is up to all the individuals. However, some individuals are usually more involved than others, in printing and distributing leaflets, organising press releases, thinking out the route, organising corkers. However, they only do the work, and don’t have any authority over anybody else – their only power is to make suggestions. The Mass is usually most successful if many people get involved and do these things on their own accord – it takes the pressure off the few and makes Critical Mass more of the spontaneous event it is meant to be. Trying to pin down organisers of Critical Mass is just like asking about the organisers of the daily rush-hour. It’s an absurdity.
