History of Critical Tits:
The ride started in 1996 on a day when the Critical Mass ride was taking place in San Francisco. Five of us painted our chests, got on our bikes and rode through BRC shouting “Critical Tits.” Women joined us and men bowed down. Each year since then the ride has more or less doubled in size. We had 5000+ riders in previous years.

Obviously something about the experience resonates with women. We are the largest gathering of women on the playa, and for many of us, the experience offers a meaningful connection to the power of female energy within ourselves and within our playa community.

Q: When is the ride?

A: The ride starts at 4 pm on Friday at the Man. Please respect the fact that the ride is for women and girls only.

Q: What happens at the end of the ride?
