Critical Mass 2008 – Budapest

Critical Mass 2008 - Budapest

About 80.000 people participated yesterday on the Critical Mass event in Budapest marshing for more then 2 hours in the city with bycicles. With this enourmous number of participant the Budapest Critical Mass is the world largest event among the similar initiatives. I hope its really a “critical mass” already and Budapest will be more and more “green” and liveable.

    Was it a part of the Park!, a Public Art project by the British Council? With 10000 green T-shirt, bikers and Jason Hawkes, a photographer of the National Geographic crew?
    I hope people can finally realize how important the war (yes, it is a war) against global warming is. People should use cars even less! We have two legs, it can’t be an accident. I love to walk and I love my city, so let’s preserve her for our children. Hey everyone, let’s get on a bike!:)

    That’s a brilliant picture – you’ve totally captured the feel of the event.

    I was going to say pretty much the same thing that Jackie did, only she said it better. So I’ll just add that I agree with Jackie. Wow.

    Great picture! Congratulations from Chicago on getting such a huge mass. Chicago got to about 3000 last year and it got unwieldy–very slow, not much fun. How do you manage 80,000 riders?

    I had no idea Budapest had such a M A S S I V E critical mass following. I’ve seen critical mass a few times in San Francisco. Not sure how many participate, but the showing in Budapest is surely impressive. Great shot. Really captures the spirit of critical mass.
