“Early on, we got bashed really hard. Everybody hated us.”
My roommate is doing one of those annoying Critical Mass things tonight. I've taken to calling him a hipster masshole.“Early on, we got bashed really hard. Everybody hated us.

Many people who haven’t been on it think it’s terrible,” D’Andrade said on Roll Over Easy.San Francisco Chronicle/Hearst N/San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images
“Willie Brown tried to crush our movement. He hated us and hated Critical Mass. He sent the cops to shut us down several months in a row. There was police brutality, lawsuits and terrible press. It completely backfired,” D’Andrade said. In the face of frequent division, Critical Mass riders assembled on September 30 for the three-decade commemoration. They huddled at the Embarcadero Plaza and rolled out at 6:30 p.m. to take back the streets.
