Report from the August, 2008 Ride:

Critical Massers,

For the second consecutive year, you have succeeded in casting a shadow on a charitable event that I have produced on Labor Day Weekend in Chicago.

Report from the August, 2008 Ride:

Hey Bike People, we should not be physically assualting cars and verbally abusing their occupants. Sure, if a motorist drives their car into you, give them hell, but don't just arbitrarily attack cars and taunt people stuck in traffic. Chicago Critical Mass is far more successful than most Critical Mass rides because we keep it fun and non-confrontational; how else could we be clearing the streets of cars and letting thousands of cyclist enjoy a peaceful tour of the city every month for 11 years straight?
