And Still They Ride

If you want a brief look at just what kind of attitude we're up against, check out the trailer for this one. I wonder how the bicycle cops felt? -ape



Still We Ride


On Friday August 27, 2004 just days before the start of the Republican National Convention, a massive police operation was underway. By the end of the night 264 people were arrested. - SWR

It marked one of the largest mass arrests in New York City's history- and the arrested had done nothing illegal. For many New Yorkers, August was the first time they heard of what has become a monthly ritual for New York City¹s bike community ­a free-forming ride called Critical Mass.

Still We Ride is a documentary that captures the joyous atmosphere of this August ride before the arrests began and the chaos that followed. It recounts how this ride first started in San Francisco over 10 years ago and chronicles the police crackdown and resulting court battles in New York over the last seven months. The movie takes on issues of civil iberties, surveillance, the power of mainstream media, and the benefits of alternative means of transportation.
