SF Bicycle Coalition

Join us TOMORROW Tuesday Oct 29 at 1pm at Goodlett Place for a ribbon cutting with the Mayor, SFMTA, our members and other advocates. Let’s celebrate this Quick-Build project really being quick, and one more block of parking-protected separated bike ways in our city. 👏👏👏

On Bike to Wherever Day this year, Mayor @LondonBreed said she’d direct @SFMTA_Muni to install a protected bike lane on Goodlett Place in front of City Hall, an obvious gap in the network where parking was prioritized over safety. That bike lane is now BUILT! We love to see it.

@Shenanigans_ATL @robinpam @StreetsblogSF Supervisor Peskin stated in our mayoral candidate interview that he voted for Car-Free Market then and supports it now: youtu.be/wPhUcs9zDa4?si…

@robinpam @sfbike @StreetsblogSF Unfortunately even if Peskin supported car free market, his record on street safety upgrades is awful. His district is a black hole of bike lanes and racks.

In this week’s @StreetsblogSF, @RobinPam makes a case that Mayor Breed is the candidate with the strongest street safety track record. “We need leaders who don’t just say the right things, but who will back up those words with actions.” sf.streetsblog.org/2024/10/24/gue…

Join us tomorrow for our 🚲Bike The Vote mobilization 🚲 with Mayor @LondonBreed and help us re-elect the ally we need to fulfill the promise of a safe, interconnected San Francisco! 🎉 mobilize.us/londonbreed/ev…

We agree. Our Board endorsed Mayor @LondonBreed because of her willingness to work proactively towards making our streets safer for people biking and rolling. She is the candidate backing up her support of safer streets with real policies. sfbike.org/news/endorsing…

@WadeWarrens @bilalmahmood @DeanPreston Yes! Our mobilization for Dean is on Sunday 10/27! RSVP here: sfbike.org/event/canvass-…

Unbelievably, today saw yet another pedestrian fatality on our city streets, on Geary and Divisadero — the second this week. Our hearts break for their family and friends. We echo @walksf: it should not be life or death to cross the street.

Two collisions caused people driving cars, injuring or killing vulnerable road users in one week is two too many. We need safer streets, and we need them NOW.

Last night, a woman biking was struck by a person driving a car on Beach and Taylor Street. According to reports, the driver  had already caused a previous collision and fled the scene after striking the cyclist – unacceptably reckless, endangering everyone in the vicinity.

This morning, a 70-year-old man was hit and killed crossing the street at Stanyan & Parnassus Streets in Cole Valley. We grieve this loss and the loss of the 19 other pedestrians who have died this year on San Francisco streets. Join us and @BayAreaFSS today at 5PM for a solemn vigil to come together with our grief and anger.

FYI - we're hiring a Member Engagement Manager! Check out all the deets, apply, and send to your networks: sfbike.org/news/were-hiri…

Thank you Prez Peskin, Supes Preston and Melgar for your leadership, and Luke Bornheimer and Peter Darche for building a strong proposal. Get involved & turn out for the committee hearing! ▶️ bit.ly/3Y8AFrT

An e-bike incentive program would drastically reduce the cost of owning an e-bike and make it possible for more people to get on e-bikes. It’s a crucial step towards a greener, healthier, and more connected San Francisco.

This week, we joined Board President @AaronPeskin, Supervisors Dean Preston and Myrna Melgar, @LukeBornheimer, and other street safety advocates at City Hall as they announced their new E-Bike Incentive Program to make e-bikes more affordable for all San Franciscans.
