Critical Mass took to the streets of Grand Rapids today on the fourth anniversary of the first Critical Mass ride. At one point 23 cyclists were counted, not a terribly large group but a decent turn out for the typically slow summer months.
After circling through downtown, the ride was stopped by a police officer at the corner of Front and Butterworth where the group was told that they could not ride in the road because they were blocking traffic. After some arguing, the lone police officer signaled out one man for a "ticket." After this man argued about the citation the officer arrested him and eventually three arrests were made.
More complete information will be posted tomorrow.
