  • Home > List of rides > Canada > Victoria, British Columbia Look up on Google / Wikipedia Last Friday of each month Centennial Square Assemble: 6:30 Ride leaves: 7:00 Prior to 2008, Critical Mass in Victoria was mostly nonexistent. A few people had tried to get it going, but other than an out-of-date website and a Facebook group with only 2 members, nothing was happening. In January 2008, a group of Moonlight Midnight Mystery Ride enthusiasts stumbled upon the Facebook group and tried to jump-start participation. But rain and wind are a big deterrent, and the first few ride were very small. By mid-summer the momentum had been lost. In the spring of 2009, a new group sprang up at UVic, and the rides centered around environmental and STV protests. There were posters around campus that generated a lot of interest. Both rides had around 100 in attendance. However, with the end of the semester came the end of the resurgence. In May 2009, a new Facebook group called "Critical-er Mass etc Victoria" was created. The group eventually changed its name to "Victoria Cycling Events" to accommodate a variety of other group rides and happenings. Because many people aren't able to make it to a 5:00 pm ride, the start-time changed to 6:30 (rides leave Centennial Square at 7:00), and there have been Critical Mass rides ever since.
