Great piece from the SF Chronicle about the SF Bike Coalition and the impact they have had. One pf the lines that I found especially interesting was:

"The fact that the monthly Critical Mass ride -- an event organized independently of the Bicycle Coalition at which anywhere from dozens to thousands of bikers take to the streets on the last Friday of the month -- hasn't erupted into chaos for nearly a decade probably has helped move public opinion in that direction."
