  1. 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."

    - if you are going alone, go find:
    - labor unions
    - religious group
    - student groups

    - DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS, WEAR YOUR LAB/HOSPITAL COATS. you don’t have to, but it’s always cool to see doctors in their coats at protests.

    - YES #BikeTooters RIDE YOUR BIKES. here in NYC we sometimes have the local equestrian clubs at protests. horseys are always rad.

    - did i say, WEAR A MASK AND BRING EXTRA? and not just an N95. #cosplayers do your thing… 🧵
