To ride a bike is a magical experience in-and-of-itself, but to take a 24-mile bike ride through a city like Los Angeles during the night hours, at times guided only by the light of the stars and the moon, well, that's magic on a whole new level. L.A. Critical Mass, considered America's largest community bike ride, happens monthly, with 1000s of cyclists of all ages and skill levels riding in ad-hoc yet perfect formation, as if choreographed by the Joffrey's Mark Morris.
