Today was the 20th anniversary ride of Critical Mass in San Francisco. The amount of bicycles was simply astounding. At Market and Church as one looked back east down Market St. towards the Embarcadero it was a sea of flashing white bicycle lights unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. I wonder if it set a record for the largest bicycle ride.
The event was very peaceful and the police presence was almost unnoticable. To me this ride is a statement that there is a huge amount of people who want to see society change and new paradigms established which put the Earth, our environment, and our health first and not economic or other interests. There is no other interest without the Earth as we are all realizing. Everyone bicycling at Critical Mass today was speaking through action that they want to see changes in how we humans live on Earth, that we choose peace and wisdom as modes of being over conflict and competition.
