We were about to cross the intersection of Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue about 5:20 p.m. when a swarm of costumed bikers swooped onto the curb in front of us. They continued to pedal furiously toward Sather Gate. After about two seconds of initial amusement, we went on our merry way toward Mars Mercantile and bought a super cute Halloween costume.
We think the bikers were part of that crazy traffic-blocking bike brigade, Critical Mass, whom we sometimes see parading the streets around campus with wheeled speakers and environmentalist messages attached to their backs. This time it was wings and capes–admittedly, a much better look than their usual “smelly-looking hippie” ensembles.
