The April 25, 2003 Critical Mass ride was followed by a lone police car which gave no audible orders to the crowd. On Forbes Avenue the ride restricted itself to one lane due to traffic constraints and police orders. While on Forbes Avenue one officer (who had been following the ride throughout) got out of his car to lecture the riders on traffic regulations.

Police insisted that all riders produce ID or face arrest; a few bicyclists did produce ID and some recieved citations on the spot while others were told that they'd be contacted by police. Most riders left without producing ID, recieving citations, or being arrested.

A rider was singled out and arrested at Craig and Baum despite co-operating with police and showing ID. "You're going to jail" repeated several officers in a mocking tone. Reportedly one other rider, an active Critical Mass / bike activist, was also arrested.
