Ditch the car! Don’t use BART or Muni, if possible. Just hop on a bike and ride. May 10 will be Bike to Work Day in San Francisco.
There are two ways that people can participate in Bike to Work Day. Of course, people can ride their bikes, or they can go to certain checkpoints — “Energizer Stations,” as the event organizer, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, calls them — around the city and cheer on those who choose to ride. People can volunteer to be at the energizer stations by going to: http://www.sfbike.org.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is the largest bicycle advocacy group in the city. The group on behalf of its 12,000 members works with City government and different community agencies to advocate for safer and more efficient bicycling conditions within the city. It works to promote a healthier lifestyle for San Franciscans.
According to the coalition’s website, San Francisco loves biking, and an increasing number of persons are getting around the city by bike — which is a good thing for everyone. The coalition also advocates meeting a growing need for better bikeways that are safe, comfortable and continuous — bikeways that are fit for anyone from an 8-year-old to an 80-year-old. In the coalition’s view, this is “Connecting the City!”
