The monthly Berkeley Critical Mass found it's way into Emeryville, via a nice bayview ride, and some folks even found their way into Ikea. Other folks made flyers to hand out to people so that we could remember Reagan appropriately and share our feelings with others.

§5 of us went inside and followed the bike lane around Ikea for a while

Then we decided to leave the store and continue riding with the rest of the mass

§Then I think we headed up Bay St, thought I don't know Emeryville that well

but we weren't really being all that quiet. As we had our sound system and were playing anti-reagan punk songs, devo, some other bands, and some funk while we road through the Emeryville mall area.

§If only we could ride to San Francisco...
