This month marks the official kickoff of the LA Critical Mass Summer Ride Series, and we’re elevating the experience to a level Los Angeles has never seen on two wheels.
For the first time, the ride will feature three powerhouse DJs performing live on the Remix Mobile Stage, turning the entire route into a rolling music festival as thousands of cyclists move through the city.
Summer always brings out our biggest crowds, and this route is expected to be one of the largest of the year. With long daylight hours, warm weather, and a massive turnout anticipated, the energy will be unmatched. The addition of live entertainment transforms the ride into a full‑scale cultural moment — a celebration of movement, music, and community.
This month’s ride sets the tone for the entire Summer Ride Series. Expect bigger routes, larger crowds, and more immersive elements woven into the experience. Whether you’re a longtime cyclist or joining us for the first time, this is the moment to show up, ride together, and help shape the energy of the season.
At the center of this month’s ride are three standout performers — and the stage that brings them to life.
THE REMIX MOBILE STAGE — A DANCE FLOOR ON WHEELS
The Remix Mobile Stage is more than a stage — it’s a moving spectacle engineered for impact. Outfitted with a stunning, high‑powered sound system and a full synchronized light show, it transforms the ride into a rolling concert that can be heard and seen from blocks away.
This is a dance floor on wheels, built to deliver nightclub‑level production while cruising through the streets of Los Angeles. The bass hits clean, the highs cut through the night air, and the lighting floods entire intersections with color as the stage rolls by. Cyclists and participants don’t just hear the music — they feel it.
With three superstar DJs performing live on top of it, the Remix Mobile Stage becomes the heartbeat of the Summer Ride Series kickoff, pulling thousands into a shared wave of sound, rhythm, and movement.
VICIOUS LEE — THE VOICE OF LOS ANGELES & THE HEART OF THE RIDE
Vicious Lee isn’t just an MC — he is a Los Angeles icon, a cyclist, and one of the most electrifying voices in the city’s entertainment scene. Known across every corner of LA — from downtown nightlife to community festivals to the cycling streets he rides himself — Vicious Lee has built a reputation as a performer who can command any crowd, any stage, any moment.
His résumé spans some of LA’s most recognizable cultural spaces and events. Vicious Lee has hosted major city festivals, celebrity‑attended functions, club residencies, charity rides, community celebrations, and large‑scale outdoor events that draw thousands. His voice has become a staple at high‑energy gatherings where precision, charisma, and crowd control matter.
As a cyclist, he brings a unique advantage — he understands the rhythm of the ride. He knows the surges, the climbs, the moments when the pack needs a push, and the moments when the energy needs to erupt. That connection makes him the perfect frontman for LA Critical Mass.
For the Summer Ride Series kickoff, Vicious Lee becomes the engine of the night. His voice cuts through the city, guiding thousands of cyclists with the same confidence and charisma he brings to every major stage he touches. He hypes the crowd, unifies the pack, and transforms the Remix Mobile Stage into a rolling performance platform.
Vicious Lee doesn’t just host the ride —
he elevates it.
He amplifies it.
He turns it into an experience the city feels.
DJ FLAKO — THE 213’S OWN HEAVY HITTER
Representing the 213, DJ Flako brings the authentic LA sound that defines West Coast culture. He’s the homie everyone knows, the DJ everyone respects, and the one who can flip the vibe instantly with a single transition. Flako’s style is rooted in the streets — West Coast classics, modern hip‑hop, Latin rhythms, and deep‑cut blends that only a true LA native can deliver.
Flako is known for reading a crowd with precision. His sets are unpredictable in the best way — smooth blends, heavy basslines, and a signature swagger that turns the ride into a rolling block party. He brings the neighborhood with him, representing the culture and community that shaped the city’s sound.
For the Summer Ride Series kickoff, DJ Flako delivers the heartbeat of LA. His presence on the Remix Mobile Stage ensures the ride doesn’t just move — it grooves.
DJ SMOOV: CLOSING OUT THE LINEUP WITH A SMOOTH, CROWD‑DRIVEN VIBE
Rounding out this month’s three‑DJ lineup is DJ Smoov, anchoring the musical energy as the final DJ of the night. Smoov brings exactly what LA Critical Mass needs in its closing stretch — steady momentum, warm transitions, and a feel‑good sound that keeps thousands of cyclists connected as the city opens up around them.
His strength is his ability to read a moving crowd. As the ride hits its later stages on the last Friday of the month, he’ll be shaping the atmosphere with smooth blends and uplifting tracks that keep the pack unified from front to back. His style complements the intensity of Vicious Lee and the signature 213 flavor of DJ Flako, giving the night a balanced arc from start to finish.
As the final DJ in this month’s lineup, DJ Smoov isn’t just closing the show — he’s setting the tone for how the ride ends: energized, cohesive, and fully in the moment.
