Oakland Critical Mass, a monthly bike ride every first Friday, starts at 8 pm at 14th and Broadway, ending at 23rd and Telegraph during the Art Murmur.
While Oakland Critical Mass is often viewed as a political protest for bikers' rights, it is also a largely celebratory social event that brings together the cycling community.
The small rides can sometimes gather 40-50 participants, with community members reacting variably—some cheer while others express frustration over traffic disruption.
Riders are encouraged to prioritize safety and obey traffic laws, highlighting the shared responsibility in maintaining order during the ride.
