Perfect timing for a Critical Mass Ride this weekend…as 25 September is the 33rd Anniversary of the first “official” ride in SF on Market Street.
“It was initially called ‘Commute Clot’, and about 48 cyclists participated. The event was created as a grassroots, leaderless movement to promote cycling and assert cyclists’ rights to the road, often described as ‘organized coincidence’ rather than a formal protest.” – source unknown
