At Los Angeles Critical Mass, we celebrate the strength of community and the joy of cycling together. Our monthly rides unite thousands of cyclists, including notable celebrities and dedicated advocates for sustainable transportation. We explore the vibrant streets of metro Los Angeles and its surrounding areas, passing by historical landmarks while fostering camaraderie among cyclists who come together to enjoy a great time.

As we continue to grow and expand our reach throughout Los Angeles and the surrounding cities, ensuring the safety and effective communication of our ride marshals has become a top priority.

To enhance the safety and coordination of our rides, we are seeking your support to fund rapid radios for our ride marshals. Currently, the walkie-talkies we have been using have limited distance capabilities, which can hinder our ability to communicate effectively during our rides. Upgrading to rapid radios will allow our marshals to communicate seamlessly with each other and with our on-site staff, ensuring that everyone stays connected, regardless of distance or cell reception. With the bustling streets of Los Angeles, effective communication is crucial for navigating traffic, managing large groups, and responding to any unexpected situations that may arise during our rides.

Why Rapid Radios?

Enhanced Safety: With rapid radios, our ride marshals can quickly relay important information, such as traffic updates or route changes, to ensure the safety of all participants.
Improved Coordination: Effective communication allows our marshals to coordinate better with each other and our on-site staff, making it easier to manage the flow of riders and maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Reliable Communication: Unlike our current walkie-talkies, which have limited range, rapid radios provide a reliable means of communication throughout our rides, even in areas with poor reception.

How You Can Help

We are seeking to raise funds to acquire sets of rapid radios for our dedicated ride marshals. Your generous contributions will directly impact the safety and enjoyment of our events. Here’s how you can support us:

Make a Donation: Every dollar counts! Consider making a one-time donation or setting up a recurring contribution to help us reach our goal.
