I know that two wrongs don’t make a right, but after living here for three months, and using our bicycles to get around most of the time, we were seeking some sweet revenge on the buses, cars and even pedestrians. Every first Thursday of the month, over 3000 cyclists gather at Parque Revoluncion to ride about an hour on some of Guadalajara’s busiest and largest roads, blocking traffic, frustrating buses and cars and making a lot of noise. Perhaps the best was going through the tunnels that bypass certain neighborhoods and getting passed in the tunnel by a double-decker bike ridden by a guy in a gorilla suit. Ah Mexico.
Critical Mass, Guadalajara

Hello Josh,
I’m an American student-on-a-break in Guadalajara right now, and I’d really love to ride GDL’s mass—but I can’t seem to find any reference online as to what time of day it starts. Could you perchance shed some light on the situation for me?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Ryan, the rides leave the first Thursday of every month from Parque Revolucion which is at the corner of Federalismo and Juarez (Vallarta) at 9 pm. Have fun!
