"Critical Mass here was an amazing overwhelming chaotic crazy =

etiquette of Critical Mass. So, predictably, there were many flaring =
tempers and a lot of hostility in both directions all over town. The =
police broke the ride up early, splitting it into at least 6 different =
masses of over 1000 each, some more like 2500 or more. It depended =
entirely on which group one ended up in what kind of experience you had. =
Some people were attacked by the police (with batons swinging) and =
reports are that there were 12 arrests. But overall, the vast vast =
majority of people I spoke with during the ride, afterwards at the =
Birthday Party at Dolores Park, and over the weekend, had an absolutely =
spectacular time. Definitely most of San Francisco was paralyzed for a =
few hours Friday night as bicyclists had their way all over town. A fair =
amount of hate email since then, but many more happy, glowing stories. =
We'll try to write some of it down and send it out in the next few days. =
