Location of Critical Mass Topeka

Critical Mass Topeka is a group of cyclists that flock to the streets once a month to promote cycling rights on the road. Ride with CMT to promote bicycle awareness on the roads, promote going green, just for exercise, or just to meet cool people and have fun.

Critical Mass Topeka has a standing open invitation for anyone to show up with their bikes and take to the streets in the masses. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to join, even those who don't know how to ride a bike. CMT rides the last Friday of the month at 6 p.m., from the Boobie Trap Bar, 1417 SW 6th Ave., Topeka, KS 66606
