Wonderfully I happen to arrive in Budapest just in time for the last day of the Hungarian national track championships. It was a good time with a lot of good people

Around midnight on my first night in Hungary I was aggressively propositioned by a woman in need.... of something.

While in Budapest I was fortunate to get in touch with one of the "organizers" of the Budapest Critical Mass, the largest Critical Mass ride in the world. In 2005 they had 10,000 in April and 20,000 in September. That number grew to well over 50,000 rides in 2008.
I asked him a few questions about the bicycle scene in Budapest, why he does what he does and what he think of Critical mass.
