The Mass first met at 3 PM at Keishampat Bridge after one and half hour the cyclist took a collective ride and ended in with a refreshement sponsored by Boss Juices, Nahakpam Food and Beverages, Sagolband.
Miss Soma Laishram, brand ambasador of Boss Juice, Nahakpam Food and Beverage express her concern about the raising number of motor vehicle and inflation of fuel prices and opined bicycle is the best alternativefor transportation inside the city. Since its inception about 5 months back, Critical Mass is slowly gaining momentum in Imphal city.
Nearly around 70 cyclist took part the event.
Routes: Keishampat Junction – Kwakeithel Bazar –Tera bazar –Naoremthong road- Sagolband. Finally the cyclist will converge at Boss Juices and disperse.
WHAT IS CRITICAL MASS:
CRITICAL MASS is a gathering of cycling enthusiasts in a place and then have a ride in a city or town. It is critical for the environment, critical for promoting cycling as an alternative source of transport, critical for making the motorized traffic aware of our existence, and most importantly, critical for the cycling community to come together. Critical Mass has no leaders. It's a bicycling event. There is no national group that licenses local rides. In every city that has a CM, one or more cyclists just picked a day and time and started handing out fliers. You don't need anyone to authorize your ride. You just do it.
Your sincerely,
