If you can, take a moment and read this article about LA's CicLAvia:

When Brenda, Mo, and I decided to restart Sacramento Critical Mass
back in 2007, our vision for it was exactly what you see in CicLAvia
and San Francisco's Sunday Streets: hundreds of thousands of people
out on the streets, enjoying their city in a whole new way and without
automobiles choking up the air, clogging the sightlines, threatening
life and limb, and blocking human-to-human connection.
Does anyone else have this vision, and can we do this here in
Sacramento?
