IF HAVING FREEDOM TO MOVE MATTERS TO YOU, PLEASE ONLY RIDE YOUR BIKE DURING THE DESIGNATED POSTED HOURS. MON - WE ANTICIPATE CAR CRASHES TUE -MORE CAR LANES = MORE CARS ON THE ROAD = WHAT COULD GO WRONG WED - THE BRIDGE ISN'T BIG ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE ON BIKES, TOO THU - NOBODY BIKES TO WORK ANYWAY; 2PM BIKE LANE OPEN FRI - BIKE LANE OPEN SAT - BIKE LANE OPEN SUN - BIKE LANE OPEN; 11 PM CLOSED"

@bikeeastbay.bsky.social Comms Manager Chelsey came up with this inspired graphic explaining the upcoming Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Trail closures, to make space for a car breakdown shoulder every week for the next 3 years starting Oct 27th.

Why electric bikes are everywhere in Berkeley Residents of all ages and abilities are taking to electric bikes — used for commutes, school drop-offs, grocery trips and joy rides.

San Francisco City Football Club and SF Muni are excited to announce that the groundbreaking partnership promoting public transit and local footy is continuing for another two seasons.

The partnership remains cashless, with no money exchanged between the two parties.

Thank you so much!

It would be for Kensington, which is unincorporated. Who should I contact?

Awesome! Can I request bike parking somewhere in west contra costa that isn’t el cerrito? If so, how?

I took a new job for next school year partially so I could ride this more and drive less. Please sign the petition to help so I actually get to do that.

Fire and smoke flaring at a refinery

More flaring from Chevron in Richmond today.

Agreed, but the water taxi is pretty great.

Posted outside of my classroom.

So… The Bay Area Council’s “rally” to close the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail is being held in the middle of the freeway, only accessible by car. That basically says it all.

Tons of public resources being used for this event today. How is this legal?

Two people riding bikes in Amsterdam. One says “if anyone proposed this in my town I’d kill them”

“Our public transit isn’t failing; it’s being intentionally starved.”

Pitch-perfect messaging and framing from @elisejoshi.bsky.social. Transit advocates everywhere: watch this video, learn from it, apply to your local contexts, repeat.

Huh? I can't find what you are talking about.

A squished California newt. The road is closed part of the year to avoid this.

Looks like it is that time of year where South Park Drive in Berkeley is open to cars again. @bengoldfarb.bsky.social

They allow bikes on escalators now! It’s much easier.

They started allowing bikes on the escalators. It’s way better.

Kids and bike on Bart

Spring break bike + @bart.gov adventure. This time with niece and nephew along. It’s a tight squeeze on the bike.

UPDATE: The April 3rd Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail vote is postponed again, this time indefinitely. Below is the info from the BCDC meeting agenda.

This delay is good news, likely a result of all the folks who wrote in and expressed their concerns about the trail closure proposal. Thank you!

It's the opposite on the separated bike paths. I exchange pleasantries with a lot of the same people (who are biking or walking) in that safer, more relaxed space.

Newspaper clipping: Bicyclist vs the Bridge. Owen Mulholland, 24, a veteran bicycle racer, was given a $15 traffic cidation on September 16 for riding ont he east pedestrian walk of the Golden Gate Bridge. Today, at 8 AM, Mulholland expects to take the samer route from his home in San Francisco to the Marin civic center to answer the summons. Mulholland, who is president of the San Francisco Wheelman, a bicycle racing club, said his bicycle is his only means of transportation. Although the bridge allows bicycling on its west pedestrian walk on the weekends, it provides no bicycle route on week days. "I've long felt this is an unnecessary discrimination against bicycle riders," Mulholland said, "and I've chosen to ignore the rule against ike riding ont he east walkay while being fully are of the consequences." Mulholland said he plans to bicycle to the Marin civic center today "rain or shine" and hopes to appear at the traffic court promptly at 9 AM when it opens. "Philosophically," he said, "I'm opposed to the point of view that cars are the only viable means of transportation." == Large photo shows a young man in a long sleeved bike jersey and cycling tights astride an early 1970s road racing bicycle, with a support for the Golden Gate Bridge visible in the background, I believe as seen from Battery Ridge.

According to the Marin Museum of Bicycling, Owen Mulholland (RIP) is the reason we can bike across the Golden Gate Bridge during the week.

From the article: "Philosophically, I'm opposed to the point of view that cars are the only viable means of transportation."

"ACTION ALERT: MARCH 20 Richmond-San Rafael Bridge FINAL VOTE to protect trail access for people biking, walking. & rolling Sign the petition • Give Public Comment • Demand Access"

"What's at stake? On March 20, Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) members will decide whether to keep the bike/walk path open 24/7 or allow it to be closed every Mon-Thurs for conversion to an emergency breakdown shoulder Note: this plan will NOT add another drivable traffic lane. The opposition encourages misinformation to manipulate the public!"

"Who supports the Bike/Walk Trail?

The final vote on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge is about to go down! We're headed into the March 20 meeting knowing we have people power on our side.

Thanks to everybody who has followed along the last few months. We wanted to share a quick recap of what BCDC is voting on, and what's at stake.

Folks can tell their rep to support funding for transit to support our California communities here!

Photo of San Francisco City's Away Jersey in collaboration with Idle Worship. An indigo jersey with denim features and sashiko patterns.

detail shots of the jersey with copy that reads: We teamed up with local brand Idle Worship to reimagine the iconic 1994 USMNT "Denim" kit. As San Francisco is the birthplace of the world’s biggest denim brand, it was a matter of time before the community-owned, -operated, and -focused club told that story through the lens of a jersey.

A close up of the right sleeve with Idle Worship's logo. Copy reads: Custom sashiko patterns designed by Paolo Cui at Idle Worship, drawing inspiration from the ancient Japanese stitching technique. The sublimated stitches create a trompe-l'œil effect, giving the illusion of texture on the fabric. Chainlink patterns cover the front, while “dots” accent the sleeves. The back showcases a high-resolution scan of vintage linen provided by Idle Worship. Copper stitching throughout pays homage to classic denim jeans, while the club’s badge is recolored to mimic the iconic back patches found on them. Knitted collar and cuffs feature a red dotted line, reminiscent of selvedge jeans.

A photo of the back of the jersey which features the Peace Pagoda found in San Francisco's Japantown with "SF City" underneath, across the top.

San Francisco City x Idle Worship '25 Away Jersey now available.
