Not quite true. In 1994 TA organized the Critical Masses. They went from
Washington Square to Central Park. Danny L. can tell you more about them.
Then TA has done some Earth Day rides along the way. But they prefer to
work within the system and not be confrontational. Times Up!, on the other
hand, likes confrontations.
And in the early 90's TA organized weekly protests in Central Park. Every
Tuesday. As long as we had 35 people the police closed down the lower loop
for us. And they organized protests against the closing of the Queensboro
Bridge in the early 90's. That is where John Kaehny got his start.
