Critical mass

As each year 1st May  in Riga Critical mass took place. Police didn’t took the event in their hands as last year (they escorted cyclers with flashing lights) and was intolerant and rude as usual. Though men at power tried another tactics to steal the event – Riga city mayor Nils Ušakovs organized his own cycling  event earlier that day so bicyclers were split between the two events. Still there were enough participants to make the mass critical.
