Berkeley Critical Mass rolled through Berkeley on its regular East Bay Ride on Friday, October 13, 2006.

Highlights included costumes in anticipation of Halloween Critical Mass in San Francisco (Oct. 27); a festive and jubilant rolling rendition of "Fuck tha Police" on Telegraph (site of recent police abuses), replete with dancing pedestrians; and an echoing velodrome in the Unsafeway Parking Garage.
