Cease and Desist Demand – Critical Mass Unlawful Activities in the Coronado Historic District, Phoenix, Arizona
Critical Mass Phoenix c/o Facebook Group Administrators
Luke Parker Phoenix, AZ
Charles David Fernandez Phoenix, AZ
This letter constitutes a formal demand that you, Critical Mass Phoenix (including its organizers, administrators, participants, and affiliated entities or individuals), immediately cease and desist from all organized group bicycle rides, gatherings, or related activities within the boundaries of the Coronado Historic District in Phoenix, Arizona.
On or about Friday, February 27, 2026, at approximately 8:30 p.m., members and participants associated with your organization engaged in a group ride through the Coronado Historic District. During this event, incidents occurred that included:
An alleged assault committed by one or more participants; and
Property damage caused by one or more participants.
These incidents were promptly reported to the Phoenix Police Department. Video evidence clearly identifies the alleged assailant(s) and those responsible for property damage, as well as over 20 participants who appear to have disregarded relevant Arizona Revised Statutes under Title 28, including rules on bicycle operation, traffic control device compliance, and lawful roadway use (e.g., provisions under A.R.S. § 28-815 concerning riding abreast and roadway positioning).
The Coronado Historic District, the City of Phoenix, and the Phoenix Police Department have all been notified of these events.
Your organization’s continued operation of group rides or events in this area risks further violations of law, including but not limited to criminal statutes related to assault, criminal damage, and traffic infractions, as well as potential civil claims for property damage, personal injury, or nuisance.
Demand You are hereby directed to immediately and permanently cease all organized rides, events, promotions, or activities by Critical Mass Phoenix (or any successor or affiliated group) within the Coronado Historic District. This includes any encouragement, organization, or facilitation of such activities via social media, websites (including bikephoenix.com), Facebook groups, Instagram accounts, or other platforms under your control.
Failure to comply with this demand will force the pursuit of all available legal and equitable remedies, which may include:
Filing civil lawsuits for damages, injunctive relief, and other appropriate remedies;
Cooperating fully with law enforcement in any criminal investigations or prosecutions; and
Seeking criminal charges against responsible individuals and/or the organization where supported by evidence.
You are requested to provide written confirmation within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter that you have complied with the above demands and will not engage in or facilitate any further such activities in the Coronado Historic District.
Should you have legal counsel, please direct any response or communications to me in writing.
Sincerely, Your Neighbors
