Critical Mass is a worldwide protest on the last Friday of every month. In cities around the world, bicyclists form large packs and ride through the streets. They aim to draw attention to the need for bike lanes and cyclist rights.

They also can cause a headache for city administrators. “They hate us,” explains this protestor, posing in front of the group’s police escort. “They herd us like cattle, and ticket us for anything they can.”

This reminds me of one of the chief conflicts underlying the Occupy Wall Street protests:

The right of protestors to assemble
vs
The right of the City to maintain order
