>>1020759Mid 1990's, I worked in San Francisco, and joined in 4 critical mass rides. The first three were before the crackdown, the final one after.
Before the crackdown the rides were great. It was just a solid mass of bicycles that stretched for 10 blocks, and completely fucked up traffic . Because of that though, Mayor Brown ordered a crackdown.
The crackdown ride sucked, as the police enforced stop lights. So rather than this continuous moving, you'd get stuck at a red light, and it would take like three cycles of red/green just to go one block. After that no more critical mass for me.
