A group of bikers take part in Critical Mass Spartanburg on Friday, June 25.
A small group of riders assembled in Morgan Square last Friday for Critical Mass Spartanburg.
Critical Mass is a bicycling event typically held on the last Friday of every month in more than 300 cities around the world. It was originally founded in 1992 in San Francisco.
The purpose of Critical Mass is not formalized beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets on bikes.
It’s estimated there are Critical Mass-type rides in more than 325 cities around the country.
Newly - elected Councilwoman Cate Brandt Ryba is credited with bringing Critical Mass to Spartanburg. The first Critical Mass ride in Spartanburg was held in March.
