Critical Mass rides through Ballard

At least two hundred cyclists rode up the middle of 15th, across the Ballard Bridge, down Market and all the way to Golden Gardens around 7 p.m. Friday evening. It’s all part of the Seattle Critical Mass — a monthly event that can leave many Seattle drivers confused and angry.

“A couple motorists tried pushing into the cyclists at Market & 24th, but a couple drivers with two tons of cars isn’t much of a match for hundreds of cyclists,” writes Michael, who sent us these photos.

Here’s the scene on 15th. “In the future, please have patience. It only happens once a month,” he writes. (Thanks for the photos Michael!)
