As the new year unfolds, we are filled with gratitude, pride, and hope as we reflect on 2024—a year that marked a significant chapter in Critical Mass Nairobi’s journey. We are thrilled to share our 2024 Annual Impact Report, a testament to the strides we’ve made toward transforming Nairobi into a cycling city.
The Journey: From Vision to Action
What began as a grassroots movement with a dream—to make cycling an integral part of Nairobi’s urban life—has blossomed into a vibrant community of advocates, families, women, children, and changemakers. Back in 2015, we confidently declared, “Slowly but surely, we shall transform Nairobi into a cycling city.” Today, in 2024, we are proud to affirm, “Slowly but surely, we ARE transforming Nairobi into a cycling city.”
This transformation hasn’t come easily. It’s been fueled by resilience, collaboration, and an unwavering belief in the power of cycling to create a greener, safer, and more inclusive Nairobi.
Highlights from 2024
Our report captures the essence of a year filled with challenges, milestones, and unforgettable moments:
Toto Mass: We inspired children and families to embrace cycling, creating spaces where connections were strengthened and joy was rediscovered.
Kenya Cycling Women: This initiative broke barriers, empowering women to reclaim public spaces and cycle with confidence and pride.
Nairobi Bike Trains: Safe and organized routes connected neighborhoods, fostering camaraderie and encouraging more people to use bicycles for commuting.
Kenya Cycling Soko: A thriving digital marketplace that supported economic activity and built trust among buyers and sellers in the cycling community.
Community Rides: Month after month, these rides brought together hundreds of cyclists, amplifying our advocacy for safer streets and inclusive mobility.
These highlights represent more than just achievements—they tell the story of lives transformed, friendships formed, and a shared vision coming to life.
The Heart of What We Do
Cycling, for us, is more than a mode of transport. It’s a bridge that connects people, an avenue for mental and physical well-being, and a tool to inspire resilience and belonging. Each initiative we undertake is driven by our mantra:“Tujuane, Tujengane, Tuinuane”—Let’s get to know each other, let’s build each other up, and let’s lift each other.
In 2024, this mantra came to life in countless ways. Cyclists from all walks of life found not just a way to move, but a way to heal, connect, and grow.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we pedal into 2025, our vision remains ambitious:
Expanding our programs to reach more communities.
Advocating for safer cycling infrastructure and inclusive policies.
Partnering with like-minded organizations to scale our impact.
Continuing to foster a cycling culture that transforms lives and redefines Nairobi.
This journey is far from over, and we can’t do it alone. We invite you to join us—whether as a partner, advocate, or fellow cyclist. Together, let’s create a future where cycling is a way of life for all.
