Mayor Gavin Newsom has asked San Francisco’s bicycling community to crack down on “bad actors” — those who use Critical Mass rides to break the law and taunt drivers and pedestrians — after a Redwood City family was allegedly attacked by cyclists at last week’s event.
On Wednesday, Newsom said he does not want to overreact to the incident or begin policing Critical Mass rides more. He said the incident was “egregious and aggressive,” but also rare.
“It does the bicycle-advocacy community no good to have people that are aggressive and dispirit the entire movement,” Newsom said. “I would encourage the bicycle coalition to say, ‘Look, we don’t put up with this, enough is enough.’”
