Almost missed our timed Chihuly tickets but my wife whipped out her tactical San Francisco driving skills and we were the win. It was a big one though. I need a bike.

It was cool until I almost got hit by 4 cyclists while walking down the sidewalk on Guerrero.

Expandable batons are prohibited in California (for civilians). You're better off with a MagLite.

Self defense. If some dude is going to come after you with a u-lock, best be prepared.

The guy on Fell was way out of line. He hit a biker trying to pull out into the mass, and when people stopped him from driving into more people he pulled out the blackjack and started swinging. I hope the cops came before he got some u-lock justice to the back of the head.

Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.

They should consider actually going this fast. Would make things a lot nicer for the rest of us.

I got caught up in Critical Mass riding my bike - definitely NOT peaceful. Someone at a gas station on Fell had stopped their car and pulled out an expandable tactical baton and things looked like they were about to get ugly.

I saw the tail end at Geary and Taylor, and this one driver was going out of his mind. "My baby's in trouble! {pause} Now what?!" Traffic resumed less than two minutes later luckily.
