Celebrate the Feast Day of Madonna del Ghisallo with Critical Mass NOLA!
On Monday, October 13th, 2025, we’re riding together in honor of the Patron Saint of Cyclists and in memory of our fallen riders. Join us for a powerful day of community, remembrance, and advocacy. The Fête will consist of a:
🌹 Community Bike Ride & Madonna Procession�
🙏 Blessing of the Bicycles�
🎉 After Party
We’re building a grotto for the Madonna made of ghost bikes—a sacred tribute to those we’ve lost on the streets of New Orleans. Together, we’ll honor their memory while pushing for a safer future with Plan Vieux Carré and a fully connected grid of protected bike lanes across New Orleans.
How to Get Involved:
* Register to Ride → Only $5 (every dollar supports bike advocacy and growing our movement!)
* Seek Sponsors → Ask friends & family to donate in your name on Venmo. Don’t forget to tell them to write your name in the note!
* Win the Grand Prize! The rider with the most sponsors will receive a bundle of cycling treasures: so far we’ve got a bike lock, a classic ding-dong bell, and glowing wheel lights—with more prizes being added along the way!
This is more than a ride—it’s a movement. Your registration and sponsorships fuel the fight for safer streets, stronger community, and a city where every rider belongs.
Register today, start seeking sponsors, and be part of history on October 13th. Together, let’s ride for those we’ve lost and for the future we’re building.
*Critical Mass Nola is a volunteer-led, informal community ride. All participants ride at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety.
