Market & Gough This was an absolutely fantastic classic ride across the city and back. Thank you to everyone who came, each ride seems to be bigger than the last as we approach the 30th anniversary next month. We rode out at 6:45 pm up Market St and through The Wiggle. With more than enough bikes we took over the Fell Expressway and continued on to the Golden Gate Park Bandshell Accessible Parking lot for our first break.

The tunnel ride! We set out at around 6:45pm and headed via Market up through both the Stockton and Broadway tunnels with Chinatown in between. Both tunnels were uphill, so we turned around and cruised back down through them. A total of four tunnel traversals in the first half hour! We then continued along a relatively standard route, along Market to Valencia and up to Mission Dolores Park for a rest stop.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade this Friday June 24, upending 50 years of settled law in a blatant attack on women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, sparking protests all across the country and world. San Francisco had at least three separate protests which converged together, as well as the Trans March, leading to a chaotic evening. Critical Mass set out around 6:50pm as we were waiting for Deep and his music bike Trikeasaurus.

About a hundred people attended Critical Mass this May 27th. We left Embarcadero Plaza at 6:30 pm sharp, headed down Market St to Valencia and up to Dolores Park for the first stop. Local legend Backwards Brian made an appearance but was unfortunately stopped by a flat tire after the first stop. Rolling down Valencia Street with Backwards Brian. We continued down through the Mission and back around Oracle Park where SFSU’s commencement ceremony was taking place for our second stop.

A Route To Celebrate Car-Free JFK JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park is now permanently car-free! On Tuesday, April 26, the SF Board of Supervisors voted to pass Mayor London Breed’s plan, with ammendments to ensure accesibility and equity. To celebrate, I am proposing a route thru the “JFK Promenade” which also traverses other important bike routes still requiring serious people-first safety improvements: Market St, Valencia St, The Wiggle, and The Great Walkway.
