San Francisco's best dressed Supervisor has never experienced the joy of taking off her training wheels, apparently. As she told a crowd at City Hall yesterday, "I grew up a city girl and I never learned how to ride a bike." There's a statement in there somewhere about building bike-friendly cities by starting with the kids, but that's for someone else to make.

Since our morning commute involves moving from the bedroom to the living room -- don't hate! -- we're (almost) jealous of those of you who get to take part in next week's Bike to Work Day. Last year's ride accounted for 75% of the morning roadway traffic on San Francisco’s Market Street. And this year's ride, happening next Tuesday Thursday, promises to be even better. "Commuters will be enjoying more than a dozen miles of new bike lanes, hundreds of new bike parking spaces, and long stretches of 'green carpet' that are physically separated from car lanes — all of which have been added since last year’s Bike to Work Day," beams the San Francisco Bike Coalition.
