Critical Mass is a worldwide movement to promote the use of bicycles as a viable means of transportation. It has arisen in response to what many call the “car-culture:” an overdependence on the private automobile. It is, more than anything else, a reclamation of space, a demonstration to show that the city belongs to people and not machines. What is a “Chicago Holdup?” Occasionally, when CM riders move through intersections, they spontaneously lift their bikes over their heads. This is also called a “bike lift” or “bike salute” in other parts of the world. It is a symbolic gesture to emphasize our belief that bikes are superior to cars as a form of urban transportation. :L http://www.chicagocriticalmass.org/
