snoball makes modeling debut

I was checking the hours for birite market to see if they close early tonight. they don't close early and my bike (with a birite bag in the basket) is featured as one of the banner images on their website.

bike brains

not sure who to credit for this awesome graphic. if you know, please share. the quote reads, *the computer is like a bicycle for our brains*, but I prefer to interpret the meaning as, *bikes on brain*. I certainly do have them on mine.

feliz cinco de mayo

so i am a bit late for cinco de mayo, but that is okay.

pictured here snoball wears her newest paper flower, made from the tissue lining that wrapped a delicious bottle of patron silver.  this replaces the marigold she had been wearing since el dia de los muertos.

on the wiggle

my friend lawrence created this awesome pop jingle as a public service announcement for one of san francisco's best known bike lane secrets, the wiggle.  Snoball and Ramona are featured all over this video, can you see us?

 

back in the day before there were bike lanes, the wiggle was identifiable by riding from the intersection at duboce and church toward the panhandle- by always selecting the flattest direction of travel at each subsequent intersection. Now, as of yesterday, BTWD, the wiggle not only has a jingle with a video, it has has painted sharrows at Waller and Steiner,  one of the most controversial intersections on the route, to alert drivers that this is a bike route and to advise them of the cyclist's probable path

Great advocacy work, Lawrence (for the Wiggle PSA) and the Bike Coalition (for the sharrrows and bike lanes)!
