Bicycle68, you're not the only one that saw how terrible a Critical Mass could be. I was in S.F. in July of '97 and was trying to get to the airport. Unfortunately, that was the same day as C.M. Not only was our cab surrounded by bikers not letting us drive, but they were knocking, yelling, and spitting on our cab. That day was the first (and last) time I actually felt ashamed to admit that I too am a cyclist.
I am not completely against Critical Mass if it is well organized and ran smoothly like Kittyfury's C.M. in Edmonton Alberta, where the drivers are honking and the police are waving in support. On the other hand, the '97 San Francisco Critical Mass was more like a riot and NOT a good example of how they were originally intended.
