This website is a resource for us, the riders of NYC's Critical Mass, to demonstrate to the city council, press, and the world what the NYPD is doing at these rides. As riders we know that many of tickets written at the rides are bogus and commonly thrown out in court. This site lets us demonstrate this while also connecting with other riders.

Read the first blog entry for more information about this site and why it was created.

If you haven't already, Create an account (or not), add your ticket and start telling us about your experience(s) at the Critical Mass ride in NYC.

The good folks over at the Bicycle Defense Fund should be your first stop. They can get you in touch with great people over at the National Lawyers Guild or the New York Civil Liberties Union. Gideon Oliver of "Oliver and Oliver" is also a great resource and has been working extensively with the bicycling community (Thank you Gideon).
