Me neither, until today. From wikipedia (stay with me):
"Critical Mass is a bicycling event typically held on the last Friday of every month in over 300 cities around the world.[1] The ride was originally founded in 1992 in San Francisco. The inspiration behind the ride was to get in everyone's way.[2] The purpose of Critical Mass is not usually formalized beyond the direct action of meeting at a set location and time and traveling as a group through city or town streets on bikes, although for some bigger scale events like the one in Budapest, Hungary, there is an activist group formed around it, organizing the rides and communicating the desires and problems of the cyclists to the city council."
Here is a video of someone who doesn't care for them getting in the way on purpose.
