Radical history bike tour.

About a month ago, we rode in the National Lawyers Guild-SF Radical history bicycle tour. I was excited to learn more about particular protests, organized demonstrations and other pieces of history that have taken place throughout a number of districts in our city.
This was right after I had dropped my camera (lens was totally off focus) s there is a little sneaky blurry side to most pictures, nonetheless, we enjoyed the ride, the information and the gatherings at corners I had no idea several radical events had happened.
Here is a quick roundup of the places we rode to, the ride took about 3-4 hours and the weather was great. Anna and Mike lead the ride and also had quick reference sheets and copies of photos to go with the tour.

Here we are at Hastings (UC) Law School. Of course lame security guard tell me 'no pictures' and does not know that pictures can be taken from the sidewalk without being harrased by anyone. As if this group look like a huge thread, I just snapped a few.
This is San Francisco, so you can't shoot pictures from the sidewalk, but you can shoot up other substances – sigh.
