Critical Mass/Velo Cinema
In recent years, the Critical Mass event has been held once a month on the streets of Prilep, bringing together a large number of cyclists who ride through the city streets. Their goal is to capture the participants' (non)respect for traffic rules, interactions with car drivers, and police interventions.
Critical mass is cycling! It is created when a group of cyclists gather in one place and ride together through the streets of their city.
Critical mass has no leadership. It is a ride where no one is in charge. Everyone is responsible for themselves and for the Mass.....
As part of the Critical Mass, this time, in addition to all cycling associations and citizens who ride bicycles, representatives of the traffic police who operate by bicycle will also be engaged. While riding around the city, the volunteers who will stop traffic to allow the group to pass will hand out flyers to waiting vehicles with the topic of Bicycle Paths. This way, they will influence car drivers to capture the need for attention to cyclists, but also the city authorities to whom they will present the need to build bicycle paths throughout the city.
At the end of the day, all participants will attend a film screening, the technical support of which will be provided by the activities of the "PEDALS AND STORIES" project.
