The San Francisco Bike Coalition, one of the city's most notorious political factions, recently posed a list of 23 questions for a gaggle of San Francisco mayoral candidates to gauge everything from their personal interest in riding a bicycle to how each candidate sees the city moving forward with new bike-friendly infrastructure. Sonce everyone is gunning for the SFBC endorsement here, many of the answers are standard boilerplate (of course everyone supports new bike lanes), but the responses to the first question, reprinted below, are delightful on their own: more ›

In the ongoing implementation of new and less terrifying bike lanes around the city, the SFMTA is looking to clean up the problematic connection between the heavily trafficked Wiggle route in the Lower Haight and the easygoing drives of Golden Gate Park as soon as next year. more ›

Pedaling to the train station this morning, we noticed a few fluorescent additions to the asphalt: bright stencils of monstrous creatures calling attention to the various pits and potholes of Townsend Street. We would have snapped our own picture of the menacing neon jaws and claws, but because we were booted from the 8:44 bike car twice last week, we preferred not to dawdle. There are more pictures on Flickr and video on NBC11's website (warning: mandatory Al Pacino preview may be off-putting). more ›

This monster pothole lurked on Townsend Street in the shade of the ramp connecting 6th Street to I-280. Under normal circumstances, we find the shrill complaints of motorists about pavement quality to be rather tedious. To motorists, we self-righteously sneer, "Why did you buy that SUV, anyway? If you want smooth roads, move to the country. Or Texas." more ›
