I went to the bike church tonight looking for a pair of handlebars but they were closed and there was a sign on their door 'We've been robbed again'.

Friday September 24, 2004 was the 12 year anniversary of Critical Mass. It also marked a return of Critical Mass to the streets of Santa Cruz. About 30 bikers met at the clock tower and rode around downtown and the westside.

Bikers were generally respectful towards the unfortunate souls rolling around town in metal boxes, however several motor-aided communters were delayed for a short time. The responses were mixed from the people in the cars, but the majority of people, especially ones driving 18 wheelers, were supportive of the Critical Mass.

The call for proposals for the National Conference on Organized Resistance on February 3rd through February 6th, 2005, in Washington, DC!

This afternoon I heard that a carload of students (UCSC? High school? apparently driving too fast) hit a pedestrian who went through the windshield and had to be airlifted to Stanford. I do not know any more about their condition.
