Muni's Guide to the Weekend: Critical Mass, AIDS Ride, March of Dimes
![]()
With AIDS Life riders, marchers, and massers, your Muni commute might get testy. Here's how:
- At 6:00 p.m. tonight the Critical Mass bicycle jaunt begins at Justin Herman Plaza. Market Street will be a mess until nightfall. Just say no to the F Market; take underground trains instead.
- Then we have the annual AIDS Lifecycle/Day on the Ride, which happens early Saturday morning at 5:30 a.m. According to the stellar Judson True over at SFMTA HQ, "there are no street closures, blocked intersections or Muni re-routes because of the ride, but expect increased bike traffic along the route and possible Muni delays on nearby routes."
- And lastly, a very special event: the San Francisco March of Dimes March for Babies walk starts early Saturday morning at 8 a.m. The march makes a circle starting at the Great Meadow in Fort Mason through the Presidio and then back to the Great Meadow. "The 29-Sunset and 43-Masonic Muni lines will be affected."

Not Muni related, but possibly worthwhile is the opening of yachting season on Sunday - head to the northern waterfront to see a parade of a boatload of boats starting at Noon.
Hmm, that just doesn't sound safe - what if they're distracted by a puppy or a kitten or a bunny and they take off and roll down the hill? Lawsuit dude, major freaking lawsuit right there...
breaking news.. some kind of crazy standoff in jack london square by the allegro.
hopefully everyone ends up alright.
apparently the word on the street is that someone shot a police officer.
hmm. perhaps the word on the streets is incorrect.

There was a Walk Against Rape on Saturday. I was at Dolores Park when the walkers arrived at the end. It seemed strange to me that the song the had playing at their arrival was "Celebrate Good Times" or whatever it's called.
We couldn't figure out what good times they were celebrating.
