http://www.midnightridazz.com/%C2%A0 this is the web site that grew out of a response to the questions asked here. The primary difference between ridazz and critical mass is
- a planed route
- a destination
- a theme
- not a protest but a social event ridazz rides happen later in the evening.
In Los Angel es we do have a huge population to draw from and the rotating one timers are harder to notice. If many smaller group rides begin happening in a particular area it will be like a omin-critical mass instead of once a month it becomes every week two or three times a weekend and then every body just starts using bicycles as primary transportation devices. roll on Jim

In Toronto we have one hit who always comes with his trumpet and plays some snappy tunes. Also, getting participants to cheer, sing and ring their bells makes for a more carnival-esque atmosphere.
