Bookmobile


Maybe one of these days I'll come across a pedal-powered bookmobile.

Public Art

One of my favorite activities in the San Francisco is to explore by bicycle the variety of public art. This "natural" piece is located in Hayes Valley.

Reflection


I was riding along the waterfront near the Bay Bridge and noticed my reflection against a building window.

MLK Jr. Day


It's been raining on and off during the past week in San Francisco so I haven't been riding as much I usually do.

But today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I found time to participate in a Tour de MLK Jr. with a few stops during rain breaks.

Pavement to Parks

I joined a few friends on a short bike ride to see one of San Francisco's "Pavement to Parks."

This is an innovative program to transform underutilized space - sometimes roads that aren't critical to the city's transportation network - into public gathering spaces.

This is the Showplace Triangle located near an art college. During the day, it's a gathering spot for students and popular for lunch breaks.

This space used to be a road and a car parking lot - and now it's a gathering spot for pedestrians and bicyclists.

One of the goals of "Pavement to Parks" is to transform these public spaces with simple changes that don't require much money.

Union Rally

Yesterday I participated in a protest march with UniteHere! Local 2 hotel union employees who are fighting for fare wages and benefits.

I biked along with the march of thousands of hotel workers and their allies, plus hundreds of police officers.
