History of #CriticalMass - The Night That Changed #SanFrancisco #Cycling Forever

Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman
Feb 23, 2023

Excerpt: "One night, on the last Friday of the month in September of 1992, Carlsson and a group of friends decided to take action. They planned to gather at Embarcadero Plaza, right by the Ferry Building in downtown San Francisco, and ride home together. They called the ride 'The #Commute lot.'

" 'We were asserting our right to the streets, essentially. One of the slogans that came out that period was that we’re not blocking traffic, we are traffic. So if you’re sick of being treated like crap on the streets of the city, show up for this thing and ride home in a group. About 50 people showed up,' said Carlsson."
