Critical Mass

Union Square, NYC
NYC’s Critical Mass started 10 years ago and grew to over 1,000 riders in the summer of 2004. Then in August, just days before the RNC, the ride swelled to 5,000 and the infuriated cops arrested over 250 people at in front of St. Mark’s Church. Since then, the NYPD has waged a consistent assault on the ride, intimidating riders with bogus flyers, loudspeakers and massive police presence, physically attacking and arresting riders, and smearing the ride in the press (sample headlines: “End the Anarchy!” and “Extremists have Hijacked Critical Mass”). The RMO made the decision that some of the energy and fun needed to be reinjected into this celebratory ride, and we’ve been playing for the riders as they assemble each month.
