The crackdown on Santa Monica Critical Mass bike riders continues by Santa Monica police. Bicyclists claim they are being unfairly targeted; the police con-tend the riders should get a permit if they are going to clog up city streets every first Friday of the month.

So this week’s Q-Line question asks: Are Critical Mass riders flouting the city’s laws or should the police work with them to help promote bicycling in the city?

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in the weekend edition of the Daily Press. Please limit responses to a minute or less.
