Sounds like you were there during a Critical Mass bike event. They have one on the last Friday of each month. Locals know to plan accordingly.
Critical Mass started in San Francisco back in 1992 (this area has a reputation for direct action politics).

The Critical Mass movement has spread to over 300 cities around the world.
