August 20th, 2005, Time's Up brought you this first Midnight Ridazz, a bike ride modeled after an on-going successful event in LA. Its a more loose, often costumed theme, critical mass type event that has gotten hugely popular on the West Coast, bringing out lots of people who may shy away from the what appears to be a more politically charged mass ride.
Last night the LA
website advertised a NY ride...anyone go on this thing?
Perhaps there will be more when the weather is better. Perhaps it will be more fun then...criminal mass.

i went and it was AWESOME.
There were about 25-30 riders and it was a pleasant good time. It stopped raining at 10:30, and the rest of the night the weather was perfect.
It has me excited, seeing as how i use to attend critical mass before it became aggro-political "us versus them" and the death of the fun spirit of just going on a bike ride.
This ride totally has the spirit of Critical Mass circa 2003.
And the turn out for February was quite impressive! Hopefully it will be just the beginning.
This will definitely be happening again in March.
Hey,
KCET, LA's public television station, featured Midnight Ridazz in their online magazine. The segment includes videos of rides and interviews with some of the original ridazz. It is definitely worth checking out
