The revolution continues today between 4:30 and 5 p.m. at Central Park.

I ran over some jagged metal yesterday on my bike and will have to walk today, so I hope to snap a lot of pics and post lots of photos here tomorrow.

Be nice to the cops, ride safely and make a strong point about the cause.

The Winnipeg Police Service just sent out this press release:

Winnipeg Police Service Media Release
For Immediate Release

Critical Mass Ride

The Winnipeg Police Service recognizes Critical Mass’s objective to promote cycling as an alternative to driving in order to protect the
environment and acknowledges that most cyclists participating in the
monthly Critical Mass bicycle rides do so with respect for the law and
the rights and freedoms of all other citizens.

Critical Mass has scheduled a ride for this afternoon and a large number of participants are anticipated to attend in support of the event. The Winnipeg Police Service Bicycle Patrol Unit will be escorting participants in order to ensure their safety and a lawful ride. If required, additional police units may be called upon to preserve public safety and order, and the safe, free flow of traffic.

The Winnipeg Police Service remains optimistic that participants in
today’s ride will respect traffic laws and assist police in ensuring a successful ride with minimal traffic disruptions.

The Winnipeg Police Service remains committed to establishing a positive working relationship with Critical Mass representatives and
continue to keep the lines of communication open in order work towards
a common goal of safe rides without compromising anyone’s safety or
negatively affecting motorists or pedestrians.
