Article on Friday 27th NYC Critical Mass from Alternet: "Things turned ominous as the ride continued south towards Madison Square Garden, site of the Convention. At 35th Street, just two blocks north of the Garden, bikers were greeted by rows of police in riot gear. Some of the riders came to a halt, while others continued made a turn heading westward. Police stopped the riders who tried to continue south, and promptly arrested them, confiscating some of the bikes. The rest of the bicycles were left abandoned on the side of the street, where legal observers tried to determine to whom they belonged.'
