10th Anniversary of Critical Mass

Critical Mass started on September 25, 1992, in San Francisco. 10 years
later, it's still going strong and has spread to over 300 cities. The 10th
Anniversary is being celebrated in San Francisco in many ways.
Gifts

Talk Fast Ride Slow is a website of the Committee for Full Enjoyment, an
affinity group that is active with Critical Mass. They promoted a potlatch
and potluck gift exchange at the ride. Their artists have also created four
beautiful posters.
Book

Critical Mass: Bicycling's Defiant Celebration is a book of articles,
essays, fliers, and photos from dozens of contributors from Critical Masses
around the world. The book's release coincides with the 10th annivesary, and
is available from the publisher or your local independent bookstore. Editor
Chris Carlsson and various contributors will be reading and signing copies
of the book somewhere near you (maybe).

Car-Free Days

The anniversary is fortunately during the last half of September, which the
excellent folks at Car Busters have declared as World Car-Free Days. The
city of San Francisco has sort of announced its first Car-Free Day on
September 27th (the same day as the anniversary ride). Announcements were
sent out to inform people that Montgomery Street will be closed between
Market and California Streets from 10:00AM to 2:00PM, but public service
placards in the city buses give different hours. No contact information can
be found on the placards, and there's no information on the city's website.
Everyone is probably better off not driving a car at all that day.

Car-Free Days are celebrated around the world this time of year. For
example, the European Union has them on September 22nd. Usually they do far
more than San Francisco, closing entire city centers, or at least holding an
all-day street fair. (San Francisco has two major street fairs during the
Car-Free Days, but doesn't call them Car-Free!) There are also Critical Mass
and Reclaim the Street celebrations of car-free streets all over the world.
Bike Protest Against Oil-igarchy

Also on September 27th, there's a big protest against big oil and the World
Bank going on in Washington, D.C. In San Francisco, the folks at Art and
Revolution made a bike protest out of this. There's no information about it
on their website, but details were sent to a San Francisco Critical Mass
email list: 4:30PM at Chevron-Texaco, 575 Market between 1st and 2nd
Streets. This is near the Montgomery BART station, and right between the
sites of "Car-Free Day" and Critical Mass.
