Critical Mass April 2007

by Melissa Cha (shithappens27 [at] hotmail.com)
Critical Mass April 2007. Many news stations show up to this month's critical mass, perhaps expecting to capture an unfortunate incident similar to last month's. This month, critical massers stop at red lights and let oncoming traffic pass.

Thanks for the pics. Just wanted to correct your statement: "This month, critical massers stop at red lights and let oncoming traffic pass." Sounds like you read that off a flyer from someone who somehow believes that makes sense. That didn't happen and will never happen. What makes critical mass is moving together as one body. Besides, I don't think whoever's calling for cm to stop at red lights realize what that would mean for city traffic. Cars will be stuck for hours instead of the usual 5 minutes.
