Critical Mass Wins Court Battle
WNYC Newsroom
NEW YORK, NY February 16, 2006 —The Critical Mass bike riders won another battle in their war with the city.
REPORTER: A state supreme court justice has denied the city's request for an injunction that would have stopped the monthly bicycling demonstrations.
Norman Siegel, an attorney for Critical Mass, says the group has won a victory for riders, and people's civil rights.
SIEGEL: The goal is that anyone who wants to ride in critical mass should have the right to ride through the streets of new york city free of arrest, free of harassment and free of hostility.
REPORTER: The city's law department says it will appeal the ruling.
