Hi #sfbike! What's a good bike-accessible business? I love @grandcoffeesf for the delicious coffee, pastries, and super friendly service. Their sidewalk window makes it easy to pick up a little something while we're out

Yet another dangerous example of an autonomous vehicle driving recklessly throughout SF streets! Oh, wait a sec…

Why does Safeway lock up their laundry detergent but Grocery Outlet doesn’t? They’re in the same area

After picking up your special order of tea cakes, you set off towards the lighthouse keeper's cottage, feeling the breeze on your skin and the warmth of the sun on your shoulders. #bikepretty #bicyclesnotmotorcycles #👒🚲

Okay hear me out, an RV, but it has a small car that comes out from under it so once you set up, you can still drive around.

Where are people getting this idea? It’s pervasive. Does it come from car commercials?

I just saw this advice on a (non-bike-related) parenting group and it really struck me how wild it is that cars are promoted (in the US) as a necessary tool for raising children but how consistently threatening car travel is to those same children:
Also worth noting that it's not safe for kids to eat in car seats, so if they do need a snack it's best to pull over. One because of the choking hazard since car seats are designed to lean back, and secondly because you might not see or know that they are choking if you're up front driving and even if you did, it would to take a long time to pull over, park, get your child out of the car seat and start to administer first aid.

Quite a few people have asked me about this picture, so here we go; The photo is real, the caption probably not but is not not far off, here the original from the amazing book ' 'Fancy Cycling. Trick Riding for Amateurs' by Isabel Marks (1901). And a bonus similar photo added.

Gentle reminder that roads were made by people and that those people didn't have your best interests in mind.
Photo of a woman riding a bike on a road with no car traffic. Her child is riding on the back of the bicycle. "I used to think biking on the sidewalk was antisocial, now I'm more of the mind that clogging up the roads with cars is more antisocial. If the infrastructure isn't there and my kids are with me, I bike (very slowly) on the sidewalk and take care to give way to pedestrians. –Georgia L."
