Comments on Ken's review of Critical Mass
Critical Mass
Description: A monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road.
awesome!!!
in a word, ****ing-awesome!!!
this was my first ever critical mass. the police were quite useful and "cooperative" - they ran interference at intersections for massers to keep us in one smoothly flowing pool. most motorists and passersby were amused. only a few exhibited bad behavior (swearing, throwing water bottles, trash, running over bikes)...
i really enjoyed this ride, it was perfect weather (slightly cool) and we did a couple-a tunnel runs (stockton and another one)... biked along market, chinatown, SOMA, ended in mission area. when my friends and stopped to grab food and beer for a while, we later saw some bicyclists pass by, continuing to ride. what a wonderful night!! :)
with burning man on this week (arson, suicide notwithstanding), the mass was pretty small--postage stamp size?--but still sizable. it was great!! I took photos also, which i'll upload sometime soon and post up here. sufficed to say, it was quite the tame event. so much for liberal media hype!!!
