More than 100 cyclists took to the streets on Saturday for the second annual Critical Mass: Ride for Anchorage event. The large group ride is a way to call attention to the need for more cycling infrastructure in the city, organizers say.

More than 100 cyclists took to the streets on Saturday for the second annual Critical Mass: Ride for Anchorage event, where the crowd pedaled as a pack through Midtown. Marie Francis, one of the event’s organizers, said the large group ride is a way to call attention to the need for cycling infrastructure in Anchorage.

The route followed Northern Lights Boulevard, a busy road with no bike lanes, so the crowd of cyclists occupied two of the four lanes of westbound traffic. Francis said at least one of those lanes should be converted into a protected bike lane.The lack of a bike lane means cyclists like Jedidiah Smith don’t feel comfortable riding on Northern Lights. Smith, a commuter from Spenard, said he avoids it at all costs.

Cyclists wearing reflective vests blocked off intersections on Saturday while the group passed through. Organizer Olivia Garrett said many motorists were excited about the mass ride.
