haven't been to more than 2 CM's and I've enjoyed them both, I think the greatest achievement of it is to give people who ride bikes a glimpse of what is like to ride with a bunch of other cyclists, something people rarely do as most just commute, think of that feeling you have going on the bridges ride for the first time or one of the longer rides to brighton/southend/cambridge/oxford/canterbury, that social, riding your bike talking to other people riding bikes, its a great feeling, and so I assume people come out on the Mass for more of the same.
London as a city and the UK as a whole are still miles away from reaching the tipping point, in relation to bikes on the roads and other road users, looking out for and being aware of us. If Critical Mass helps in that respect then its a good thing, if it doesn't or is past its sell by date, then people need to figure out something else that will...
