We hope that over time, folks will make connections with people from their neighborhoods and can organize smaller groups to ride together to the starting point. If anyone is interested in organizing a bike bus from their neighborhood to Red Arrow, let us know!
The starting point at Red Arrow is accessible by transit:
- MCTS lines that come within a few blocks: Green, CN1, 14, 15, 18, 19, 30, 33, 57
- The Hop streetcar (City Hall or Cathedral Square stops)
- There's also a Bublr station at Water and Kilbourn
You are welcome to leave the ride when you’d like, but as a "no drop" ride, we don’t leave anyone behind because of speed. (We may not be able to stop the group in case of mechanical issues, though.)
Critical Mass is a (fun!) socially-paced ride (about 10 mph or less). We ride to be in community with other bicyclists/skaters/scooterers/etc, provide safety in numbers, and demand safe transportation infrastructure for all.
Hope to see everyone for this month’s ride!
- Friday, Feb. 27
- Meet starting at 5:30 p.m. at Red Arrow Park
- Roll out at 6 p.m.
- End point: Urban Harvest (1024 S 5th St)
Make new friends, have fun, and enjoy the warm day!

More great video from yesterday’s unity ride in Minneapolis, from Recovery Bike Shop.
This one has a clip of our city council president, @elliottpayne.org , corking an intersection to keep other riders safe.
Minneapolis is a special place.
🚲 ❤️
many are saying this
What an amazing day. So many people coming together, refusing to be divided by hate. Thank you to all who rode, and all the people out showing their support along the way.
Tag us in any photos or videos you have and let us know where you came from - heard of some possibly as much as 70 miles away.

Strong turnout for Austin's Alex Pretti memorial bike ride. The mood was mostly somber, interspersed with protest chants. Abolish ICE.
Today’s Pretti Good ride in San Franscisco. Days like today remind me why the SF area is gorgeous and is filled with beautiful, kind people.
Massive group bike ride in honor of Alex Pretti, to the Labor Against ICE union rally today. I didn't really capture the scale, there were a lot of people, both on bikes and at the rally/march itself. Way to turn out, Portland. #bikesky #ICEout #laboragainstICE
group of bicycle riders on the street. a person in the foreground has tape on their back that spells out "NO ICE"
pretty good showing here in salem.

Wow. Seattle’s Critical Mass ride tonight for Alex Pretti.
Love seeing the pictures rides all over the U.S. and the world in honor of Alex Pretti. Our family in SF drew his name across San Francisco with their bikes.
What an inspiring way to spend the morning in San Diego - in alliance with these lovely ~400 cyclists remembering #prettigood #noice
Just moments ago the parkway was TAKEN OVER by winter cyclists. At first I thought hundreds, but they just kept coming. Thousands and thousands! I almost cried. I’m so dang proud of MN right now.

Organized by @babski.bsky.social and @bikegridnow.org, with remarks from Kyle Lucas from @betterstreetschicago.org
Here is the crowd riding by for about 30 minutes before I joined in

Of course cargo bikes were there.

I ❤️ Minneapolis
This ride was incredible, especially our interactions with folks at the memorials and with neighbors cheering on from their windows/porches.
ICE out, now.
Proud of you, Milwaukee 🫡

The Alex Pretti Memorial Ride in Minneapolis today was massive and so powerful to be a part of. I've seen estimates of 3-5 thousand riders, taking up to an hour for the ride to pass through an intersection.
What an amazing day. So many people coming together, refusing to be divided by hate. Thank you to all who rode, and all the people out showing their support along the way.

Milwaukee, 2026
Milwaukee joins Angry Catfish Bike Shop and riders all over the country to ride in honor of Alex Pretti. We will meet at 1pm Saturday, January 31 at City Hall and do a Riverwest24 lap in his memory, and in the memory of all who have been murdered by the fascist regime.
