Critical Mass

I've had a small amount of experience with doing large scale un-permited events in NYC (most via the Idiotarod). It is a careful line to walk. The vast majority of organizers do everything they can to keep things safe. It is such rarity when things for wrong.

The NYPD, for whatever reasons, really dislike these events. Critical Mass in particular. I honestly don't quite get it.

The NYTime.

I am just linking right now because I am furious this second and can't write about. Need to process my thoughts.
