THE latest city Critical Mass ride is being held in Worcester next week.

Worcester Critical Mass, the organiser of the event, has said the next event is taking place next Saturday, December 18, from 10.15am at Croft Road Car Park.

The event is part of the worldwide movement with Worcester Critical Mass organisers campaigning for safer cycling in the city.

Critical Mass events are ‘leaderless' with whoever is the leader at a time choosing the route.

Organisers say the event isn't a "protest" and stress it is a family friendly relaxed ride.
