.83 Legal Defense Fund for Critical Mass Incident

The bicycle crew that takes their name from the number of miles they were able to ride on their first run before quitting and going to a bar has set up a legal defense fund to deal with that ugly Critical Mass incident from last Friday. We were wrong when we initially suspected this was a hoax when we first read the email from .83's Lee Williams with the heading "Trials and tribulations of the bicycle hobo elite" early Saturday morning. Our justifiable suspicions were due in no small part to the fact that we've been pranked before by a friend of our's who is a member of this group, although we did get to enjoy some vengeance many months later.

Anyway, the story is unfortunately not a hoax and you can read more about the group's Defense Fund on the .83 website here or email the guy who set it up via this email address right here. If this were a trial by message board, then this would be a slam dunk case of police brutality, but winning a case in court might be a little more arduous than anonymous internet trolling, so go do your patriotic duty this 4th of July and donate what you can.
