March Critical Mass in NYC was the first ride since the new police regulations went into effect requiring a permit for any gathering of 50 or more cyclists.
The police didn't enforce the new rule per say but they did issue 50 traffic tickets and make up to five arrests.
Councilmember Rosie Mendez joined the ride in a pedicab in hopes she can educate herself and collegues to try to pass legislation that makes sense.
Civil Rights attorneys Norman Siegel and Steve Hyman also showed support at the rally in Union Square park before the ride.
