Critical Mass: More Fun Without Police!

Posted by Duncan Meisel at 2:05 PM, April 30, 2008

Whether out of preoccupation with the acquittal in the Sean Bell trial or some other reason, the New York Police Department decided to totally skip out on harassing the April Critical Mass ride.

Recently two new videos have emerged online documenting police harassment of photographers, and acts of violence against riders , but there is hope that April might set a precedent for lighter policing of the event in the future, particularly for the Bike Month ride in May.

Bikeblog has a full report on the ride.
