I think CM:NYC can explode if you co-ordinate many groups of under 50 riders to start at various start points around the city.

I think a few people here in Toronto are considering it (just to be more of a presence on the streets – having multiple groups) – you guys could have CM:Soho, CM Times Square, CM:Hells Kitchen, CM:Village, and whatever.

I hope to come to NYC this summer or fall, and I’ll try to be there to take part in CM with you guys.

That video of cops running through the subway station to catch cyclists… sooooooo embarrassing to both cops and our fair city…

From Indymedia:

Tonight’s Critical Mass was the most succesful in months, some say years. Despite the cops attempt to close down the Union Square subway station as a crime scene, bike riders, revelers, and media activists took public transportation to undisclosed location(s), taking over the streets for hours late into the night. The Mass rode without police escort for hours. Highlights included Critical Cookies and a VJ afterparty at you know where.

With no reports of arrests or mass-ticketing, ride participants found themselves liberating public space and enjoying the first harassment-free ride in a long time. Rain during the day effected ride turnout, but the few that did show-up (47-49 in total) experienced the special treat of outwitting the pigs en masse.

PS.(Joao!!! Nice to see you on here!)

I guessed I never had such fun watching an almost unedited critical mass video!

Keep Riding! Maybe the police will give up their noise scooters and show on bikes next time!
