Any critical mass enthusiasts here?

Attended this awesome Wild Pearl bicycle party in downtown Singapore on Saturday.

I love cycling. 
But the critical mass thing is an absolute annoyance.

It’s a forcing function showing the limits of infrastructure. It’s designed to annoy!

Obviously the infrastructure can't handle hundreds of cyclists at the same time. 

But when is this the reality? 

I am certain the infrastructure would change, when all these people would actually cycle every day. 

But they don't. It's just another fun event for them.

“The idea is for people to group together to make it safe for each other to ride bicycles through their streets, based on the old adage: there's safety in numbers.”

^ personally I find it pretty awesome. Rather than being smushed by the side of the road without a bike lane, for a brief moment you get to experience a city with full transportation safety. 

Understand it can be annoying, and I misspoke when I said that was the point!

Also a clearer statement of the infrastructure chicken and egg question than I made above:
