About
Edit
Critical Mass Brno was re-founded in May 2017 and takes place every first Wednesday every month at 19.00. This event is organized by a citizens' initiative Brněnská Cykloguerilla (Bike Guerilla Brno).
Some people call Critical Mass in Brno "Zkouška sirén" (Siren test) after siren tests which are held in the Czech Republic every first Wednesday at noon.

Freezing weather have welcomed 45 riders. The meeting point was moved in front of Supreme Administrative Court at Moravian Square due to temporary ice-ring built in traditional meeting point. The route led riders through some icy road which caused several falls, however there were no injuries. At Nadrazni street a Regio Jet coach driver has driven against critical mass. The same reckless and dangerous driving took place couple of months before. Total length of ride was 13.4 kilometers.
