Critical Mass San Francisco - August 2009

Every last Friday of the month, there's a critical mass event in San Francisco. Many cyclists gather by and we just mass cycle throughout the city.  Lots of fun and good exercise (but many angry motorists) at the blocked traffic and all.

San Francisco Sunday Streets : Mission District

Every month, the city of San Francisco organizes Sunday Streets (http://sundaystreetssf.com/)  in one neighborhood, where they close off the streets and people can just enjoy walking, biking on the streets in 'safer' environment (intro from website :: Sunday Streets creates a safe, fun, car-free place for people to get out and get active in San Francisco neighborhoods.) They also have many activities planned on the streets by different group, free bike rentals, roller skates rentals etc.. pretty fun. This week they had it in the mission district (http://sundaystreetssf.com/?page_id=474). It was awesome. Enjoyed it a lot and disovered many new places in the mission, in places i rarely ventured. After SF streets, we went to Dolores park to a huge crowd, where the SF symphony orchestra was playing for free. Annie had planned a potluck picnic where it was great to meet up and spend the sunday afternoon in great company and great food !

Massive Street Party in the Castro - Pink Saturday

I was home Saturday night, chilling out, with no big plans. I checked twitter and found many tweets mentioning a massive street party happening right now in the Castro district. Could not stay home and miss it. So headed out there and indeed it was a huge mega crowd, celebrating Pride.

Bay2Breakers Race

Last weekend, I did the bay2breakers race again with a few friends. We deciced to be scrabble letters. We bought some plain white t-shirts and had drawn scrabble pieces and their points on it, hoping we'd make words with ourselves along the way, but we did not :) Was much more interesting to watch the other people. Weather was extremely hot that day, but did not prevent any of the crazy people to enjoy the race. The race had its usual quota of naked people, body painted people, huge drink floats, theme floats etc.. Check out the pics for some moments from it.

San Francisco Critical Mass Bike Ride - July 2008

Every last Friday of the month, there is the Critical Mass Bike Ride in San Francisco - (http://critical-mass.info/ - the defintion of Critical mass as per the website is "Critical Mass is a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road.")

I did last month and really enjoyed it and wanted to do it again this month. We all met at the Justin Herman Plaza in the embarcadero and left from there. I think there should have been some 200 - 300 cyclists gathered for the event. I rode with them for a couple of hours and then had to split, as I had to go somewhere. We did sme 16 miles or so in these 2 hours.

I tracked the course with my garmin. Check out the route we took and other stats from my watch at this link

It has the map and it you click on play, it'll replay the ride.

Stern grove concert - Rashid Taha live

Yesterday I went for my first stern grove concert of the season and it was a blast. The performers were Rashid Taha, an algerian-french singer which combines Algerian Rai music with modern rock, punk and dance. It was really good. Rashid Taha rocked the crowd yesterday. Really love his music and style.
