Critical Mass Austin

April 24, 2026

Critical Mass is a monthly bike ride to celebrate bicycling in Austin, TX.

We try and keep a chill pace so everyone can keep up and ride in a mass. There is at least 1 rest stop and an ending planned later on the ride. Let’s ride around town and see what we can get into. Ideas encouraged.

Bring water and whatever snacks you may need. Store stop close to the rest stop.

Meet up: 6:15-6:30pm-Food and Drink specials until 6pm at Industry

Location: ping pong tables next to Industry Bar-food, drinks, restrooms, bike friendly services, cool vibes

1211 E. 5th St. 78702

Wheels down: 7pm
Pace: Social-stopping at most red lights for mass ups
End: TBA

Suggested parking at nearby neighborhoods then bike to the beginning.
Photos and videos are cool to take and share.

REMINDER: The goal is to create a safe environment for all riders, but we cannot control, nor do we desire to, every rider’s behavior. We promote personal responsibility, and it is each rider’s responsibility to take care of themselves, and if they choose to ride with us, then they accept those risks inherent in riding a bicycle with a large group of other people riding bicycles.

New meet up location by your vote!! Please share and stay tuned.

Hear us out. Which location and time do you like best? Looking to change location and time beginning January 2026. But we need your input. The bridge with few amenities but great downtown and town lake views or ping pong table with neighborhood parking, bathrooms, food, drinks, grocery store nearby? Vote in our poll on Instagram until December 15th or like the photo of your choice on Facebook.
