Ride to the Liberty Pole, Downtown. "Critical Mass is a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road. The idea started in San Francisco in September 1992 and quickly spread to cities all over the world. Critical Mass has no leaders, and no central organization licenses rides. In every city that has a CM ride, some locals simply picked a date, time, and location for the ride and publicized it, and thus the ride was born. CM is an idea and an event, not an organization."—criticalmassrides.info

Directions to UR Meeting Point: If you put 590 Wilson Blvd,
Rochester, NY into Google Maps, you'll be almost there. From RIT I
imagine you will take East River Road along the River. Cross GVP and
get to Wilson Blvd (which intersects Elmwood immediately on the East
side of the river). Follow it past a kiosk and past the Chapel (on the
left) until you get to a sort of traffic circle (you'll see it in the
Google Maps Satellite image of that address if you zoom in all the
way). At the traffic circle turn RIGHT and go directly into
campus—you'll see a building with a large glass atrium straight
ahead—the "clocktower" (it is really the wimpiest "clocktower" you will
ever see) is by the steps just past that building.
