29 August 2008, Critical Mass
|
Hundreds of bicycles gathered at the foot of Market Street
|
Nearing sunset, they prepared to ride
|
Man in a bandana teased with a slogan
|
One rider carried spare parts on his bike
|
With shouts, they began to ride
|
Off they sped by the hundreds up Market Street
|
Their mass critically filled Market Street
|
Tourists were amazed
|
Street people had seen this all before
|
Some bikes were tall
|
Sadly, public transit was stopped in addition to cars
|
An assortment of helmets, hats, and just hair
|
The lead had reached Powell while the plaza still drained
|
Traffic was halted at Pine Street on way to Freeway
|
Traffic was halted on Freemont Street heading up town
|
Sadly the F trolley was halted too
|
He chatted with the banana as they rode
|
Traffic from Bush and Battery was halted
|
As the last bikes passed, so did the police escort
