World Naked Bike Ride



Today was the San Francisco World Naked Bike Ride event, a public event in protest of our dependence on fossil fuel.

Participants showed up with their bikes and gathered up at Justin Herman Plaza this morning. They then set up to ride along the wharf, up to the Marina and back to the Financial District through Lombard St.

They will have another event just like this one on the second week of June. Check out sfwnbr.org if you are interested in participating or just cheering them on.

Bike to Work



Thursday, May 14, is Bike To Work day .

I put air in my tires, even found a helmet that seems to fit me at a garage sale, and replaced the old seat that used made riding my bike impossible so uncomfortable. But biking downtown San Francisco's Financial District takes real skill and I'm not sure I'm up to the task, to be honest.

This is not my bike, by the way. This one is much prettier! It does say "no parking" on the sigh because they clean that side of the street a couple times a month, but it doesn't say anything about parking on the sidewalk, so I'm pretty sure that bike is safe where it is, well for a little while at least! ;)
