South Africa: Critical Mass Jozi Targets Hillbrow

Through Critical Mass Jozi, urban cyclists will engage directly with local government and communities on the implementation and construction of bicycle routes in Johannesburg, when around 1,000+ cyclists descend on Hillbrow to take part in a block party with the support of Hillbrow's local community activists.

Scheduled for this evening, 25 January 2013, the event seeks to break down social and economic barriers in the city, through bringing inner city and suburban residents together socially in parts of the city where this would not usually happen. The ride starts at the corner of De Beer & Juta, Streets Braamfontein around 1915; there is a mid-ride break at the corner of Kotze Street & Quartz Streets in Hillbrow from 2030 to 2130 and the ride ends back at De Beer & Juta streets around 2200.
