From the NY Times:
Two days before a ride in October 2004, for instance, the response plan included 547 officers, 81 sergeants, 29 lieutenants and a dozen captains. To track the fast-moving ride, the department employed a helicopter and more than 100 scooters and bicycles. Some of the officers were organized into arrest teams, according to the documents, which outline preparations for mass arrests that included 20 buses “to transport prisoners and property.”

Looks like our tax dollars at work
Even so, I wish advocates could find a more productive way to gain support than Critical Mass–particularly the types of Critical Mass events that earned the event its reputation.
viva la revolucion!!!!!!!
Not that I agree with the anarchistic tactics of critical mass but as cyclist we are right and we will win the war.
I think the numbers prove that we have already won the battle. Ride you bike; ride it safe, and ride it with pride. Every time you do the right thing in traffic it is a chance to convert a car driver.
IT IS TIME TO LEGALIZE FREEDOM.
