No Room For Error When Biking on Fell and Oak Streets

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:57:00 -0800

The SF Bicycle Coalition is trying to convince the city to fix one of the scariest parts of biking for thousands of San Franciscans: the three blocks of Fell and Oak Street between Scott and Baker. You can help carry that message by sending an email today to Mayor Ed Lee and SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin, explaining why the city needs to prioritize safety and implement bikeways on these blocks this year.

The SFMTA is pursuing options that would likely remove automobile parking on one side of both Fell and Oak Street between Scott and Baker Street. The SF Bicycle Coalition understands the SFMTA's need to find as much replacement parking as possible, and add other community benefits like greenery to the area. In fact, after working with our partners from the North of Panhandle, Alamo Square, and Lower Haight Neighborhood Associations, we have multiple streetscape and bicycle and pedestrian safety projects in mind, all the way from Duboce to Stanyan (stay tuned for more details on those projects). However, we feel those need to come after bicycle safety concerns.

The three blocks of Fell and Oak Streets are an urgent safety concern -- and we need your help to get those fixed this year. Send your email today!

New Family Biking Classes Starting Soon

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:56:00 -0800

Save Warm Planet Bikes

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:55:00 -0800

You probably know that Warm Planet Bikes provides secure bike parking for hundreds of people every week, for free, at the SF Caltrain terminal at Fourth and Townsend Streets, as well as offering retail bicycle sales and service for commuters and other bike riders. But did you know that Warm Planet's operating contract with Caltrain expired a year and a half ago, along with the original grant? Did you know this important regional sustainable transportation resource could shut down if a new operating agreement and funding is not secured soon? Without a lift from agencies like Caltrain -- the transit system whose customers it serves -- the community asset can't sustain itself much longer.

Let Caltrain know that they must not let Warm Planet Bikes go out of operation. A new contract and funding commitment are needed right away. With bike commute numbers growing and growing, particularly SF-Peninsula trips, the bike parking provided by Warm Planet is essential to avoid increased "bumping" and lost revenue for Caltrain and increased congestion from unnecessary car trips.

The Caltrain board of directors meets Thursday morning at 10:00am in downtown San Carlos, a 3-minute walk from Caltrain's San Carlos station. If you can't be there to speak up please send an email to the Caltrain board and let them know how important it is to keep Warm Planet Bikes up and rolling. This is no time to lose ground on green, healthy, sustainable regional commutes!

Construction Set to Begin This Week on JFK Drive Bikeways

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:59:00 -0800

Great news! The City has told us that construction on the JFK Drive Separated Bikeway will start this week! Many city agencies are coming together to improve JFK Drive between Transverse Drive and by fixing drainage problems, adding additional curb ramps for improved wheelchair access, and adding bikeways separated from motor vehicle traffic by buffers and/or parked cars.

This new configuration is in place in cities across the world, but will be the first for San Francisco. People on bikes will need to yield to those walking in crosswalks and be extra cautious when people with disabilities are around. Everyone will need to take extra care when people are crossing the bikeway to access parked cars. Please click here to learn more about what to expect and watch some videos of this configuration working well in other cities. Restriping of the new bikeway will start in a few weeks after curb ramp are installed and drainage issues are fixed!

Another Link for Better Biking on Sloat Boulevard

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:57:00 -0800

The state transportation agency, Caltrans, heeded the call for improvements to pedestrian safety from Supervisor Carmen Chu for part of Sloat Boulevard (a.k.a. CA Hwy 35). Just last week, Caltrans put the wide street on a 'road diet' going from three travel lanes to two and installing a bike lane, helping to calm traffic and improve safety for everyone.

From 19th Avenue to Everglade Drive, Sloat Blvd has new paving in the right lanes where they painted a seven-foot-wide bike lane and four-foot buffer, as well as more visible crosswalks. The city implemented the required "complete streets" designs to make this former busy strip into a safer, calmer, healthier street for all users and neighbors.

This brand-new stretch of bike lanes is a perfect complement to recently-installed bike lanes on Portola Drive and points the way to an upcoming Bike Plan project on Sloat from Skyline to the Great Highway.

Take a ride on this newest link in the city's bike route network and see what you think, and send a thank you note to Caltrans and the City to tell them how much you appreciate Caltrans' great complete streets work on Sloat Blvd. It's wonderful to have Caltrans' help making San Francisco an even better town for everyday biking!

What Will San Francisco Biking Be Like in 2017?

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:59:00 -0800

We are proud to present our 2012-2017 Strategic Plan, mapping out our ambitious and achievable goals toward better biking over the next five years -- and we wanted you, our members, to be the first to read it.

It's an exciting time for San Francisco bicycle advocacy. More and more people are discovering our amazing city by bike, we have unprecedented support in City Hall, and the arrival of the America's Cup means we have the opportunity to build better bikeways for years to come.

Thank you to all of our members who participated in the planning process, and for working together to make San Francisco a world-class city for biking. We welcome your feedback on the Strategic Plan, and of course, invite you to volunteer to make these goals a reality.

Better Biking from the Bay to the Beach in 2012

Biking from the Bay to the Beach could get a lot safer and more comfortable for you and your friends and family in 2012 -- with your support and action.

JFK Drive -- The long-awaited construction of the JFK Drive separated bikeway is starting soon. Click here for more information on what to expect with this new kind of roadway. People on bikes will enjoy more dedicated space on JFK Drive, and will need to exercise care at crosswalks, and when people are entering or exiting vehicles.
Fell and Oak Streets, between Scott and Baker -- Right now, you can help bring separated bikeways to these three blocks of Fell and Oak Streets by sharing your story with the Mayor and SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin. Let the city know why you need a major fix to these blocks now!
Market Street -- 2012 saw a big increase in the numbers of people biking and walking on Market Street, and a reduction in delays to Muni on Market Street -- in part due to the expansion of the green separated bikeway and legislation of the required right turns in the Mid-Market area. This year, we're looking forward to more incremental improvements to biking on Market Street in the near-term, and working towards specific redesigns associated with the Better Market Street project in 2015. Find out what's coming next.

Correction: We were wrong about the number of bike corrals listed in last week's Biker Bulletin.
There are actually 23 corrals -- not 18! We gleefully apologize!

What Does Biking on Fell and Oak Feel Like?

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:59:00 -0800

Want to help get separated bikeways on three blocks of Fell and Oak Street between Scott and Baker? You can help make this happen by taking a few minutes today to ask Mayor Ed Lee and SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin to connect the Panhandle to the Wiggle with separated bikeways.

The SFMTA is close to finishing community outreach and planning for this key project (see more project details here) and your support right now is critical to making sure these improvements move forward to implementation this year. Send an email today!

The SF Bicycle Coalition has been working with the SFMTA and neighborhood businesses, residents, and groups for years to bring safer streets to this key biking corridor While there is broad support for separated bikeways on three blocks of Fell and Oak Streets, some in the area have concerns about potential impacts to automobile parking. The SF Bicycle Coalition continues to pass out thousands of fliers and talk to all business owners in the area so that all groups can come together to find a solution that works for everyone. You can do your part by sharing your experiences biking on these three blocks today.

Be a Bike To Work Day Sponsor

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:58:00 -0800

Is biking a part of your company's culture? Do you wish the company you work for was represented on Bike to Work Day? This year's Bike to Work Day is Thursday, May 10th, and the greatest way your company can show their support of better biking for their employees and customers is through a Bike to Work Day sponsorship!

Help us make this year's Bike to Work Day the best yet. Find out how your company can be represented on posters, t-shirts, canvas give-a-way bags, Facebook, blogs and more. See what sponsorship opportunities are available for San Francisco and all nine Bay Area counties at sfbike.org/sponsorship.

Spend Your Weekend Riding with the Reid Brothers

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:57:00 -0800

Join our own Andy Thornley this Saturday for the famous Reid Brothers Architecture Bike Tour! James and Merritt Reid designed an impressive number of San Francisco's buildings, from theaters to hotels, office towers to townhouses, bandshells to barns. This is a two-hour ride, longer if you choose. Have a big lunch beforehand, but we'll stop somewhere for a snack. SF Bicycle Coalition recreational rides are free for SF Bicycle Coalition members (a $5 donation from non-members is appreciated) and rain cancels rides.
Reid Brothers Ride: Saturday, January 14th | 1:30pm | Meet in front of the David Hewes Building, 995 Market Street (at 6th Street).

There are a million good ideas for a group bike ride, whether it's a tour of tea shops, native plants, cemeteries, labor history, merry-go-rounds or Vertigo scenes. These rides are lead by our members for our members -- you're the star of the show! Have a great idea for a ride? Email tessa@sfbike.org and save the date for our How to Lead a Rec Ride talk on Tuesday, February 28th.

JFK Drive Separated Bikeway Coming Soon

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:56:00 -0800

Any day now, SFMTA crews will be out on JFK Drive beginning construction of the JFK Drive separated bikeway, between Stanyan and Transverse Drive! Thanks to hundreds of residents and SF Bicycle Coalition members, the eastern half of JFK Drive will be a more inviting place for people of all ages to bike to work, school, and the countless attractions in Golden Gate Park. The Recreation and Parks Department and the SFMTA are also adding new curb ramps and improving drainage at key locations making JFK Drive easier to navigate for those parking in the blue accessible zones.

The SF Bicycle Coalition has been hard at work with all our neighborhood partners on creating the JFK Drive Separated Bikeway -- the first parking-protected bikeway in San Francisco! Special thanks to the leadership of Mayor Lee and Supervisors Mar and Mirkarimi. Stay tuned for more information about construction and ribbon cutting!

Video: How Bicycle Infrastructure Benefits Everyone

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:54:00 -0800

This excellent video from Streetfilms highlights the new Street Racks program in New York City. By removing one single parking space at the intersection of Smith and Sackett Streets and replacing it with an on-street bike corral, the city of New York improved the intersection and neighborhood for people biking, walking and even those driving. San Francisco has its own bike corrals. The SFMTA installed 15 bike corrals in San Francisco this year alone, most recently a much-need corral at BiRite Creamery in the Mission. Check out sfbike.org/corrals. Thanks to Streetfilms for showing all the benefits that come out of good bicycle infrastructure.

SF Bicycle Coalition Architecture Ride: The Reid Brothers in SF
1:30pm | Meet in front of the David Hewes Building, 995 Market Street (at 6th St)

From the turn of the 20th Century through its first few decades, James and Merritt Reid designed an impressive number of San Francisco's buildings, from theaters to hotels, office towers to townhouses, bandshells to barns. With scant professional training but plenty of hustle, these Canadian brothers left their mark across the width of our city. Come discover some of their work and hear their story (catch the Reid Brothers in the Richmond ride on February 25th for even more). This is a two-hour ride, longer if we're having fun; have a big lunch beforehand, but we'll stop somewhere for a snack.

SF Bicycle Coalition recreational rides are free for SF Bicycle Coalition members (a $5 donation from non-members is appreciated); rain cancels rides.

Light Up the Night One Last Time

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:55:00 -0800

The SF Bicycle Coalition is proud to partner with the SF Municipal Transportation Agency to distribute lights to people who are biking after dark without them, and lighting them up with a free set of lights. If you would like to be one of our light station heroes and install lights on Monday, January 9th, 5-7pm, please email Tessa to volunteer. We have already distributed over 1,000 lights in locations across the city, along with tips for safe night riding in three languages. Monday's location is being kept under wraps in an effort to light up riders who truly need them.

California law requires a white headlight, a rear red light or reflector and yellow/white reflector on sides and/or pedals (reflective whitewalls count). If you don't have the lights you need, use your SF Bicycle Coalition membership card to get a discount on lights at your favorite bike shop. See sfbike.org/discounts for locations.

Our tips to keep you biking safely at night:

Wear light-colored clothing to help everyone see you.
Keep a careful eye out for vehicles -- drivers approaching from your sides might not see your headlights and their lights might not shine on your reflectors. Ride responsibly, predictably and respectfully.
Keep your lights secure by taking them off your bicycle when you park outside.

The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is looking for a talented graphic design intern to join our team for 16 hours/week. Work on fun web, print and branding projects. School credit is available.

GG Bridge Detour for Better Bike Access

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:53:00 -0800

The west sidewalk of the Golden Gate Bridge will be closed again for a few months, this time to create a better, smoother new pathway approach. From January 17th to approximately April 1st (weather depending), bicycle traffic will roll on the bridge's east sidewalk around the clock, sharing the narrow right-of-way with pedestrians -- please be extra alert and courteous as you make your way across.

The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and National Park Service are making improvements to the section of the Battery East Bay Trail on the south end of the bridge, including the portion leading onto the west sidewalk; this construction effort is the final phase of improvements on the Battery East Bay Trail and will include installation of dedicated bicycle and pedestrian lanes, trail re-surfacing and grade improvements, replaced fencing and lighting, and construction of the Fort Point Vista. In addition to the west sidewalk closure, detours through the Golden Gate Bridge plaza will change over the three month period to accommodate other construction activities so mind the detour and take it easy riding across everyone's favorite giant orange landmark, and we'll look forward to a terrific new pathway before long.

This month, the SFMTA will start striping 1.5 miles of a bikeway protected by parked cars on JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park! The new bikeway will make biking in Golden Gate Park an even more pleasant experience and will encourage more people to ride to the Park to take advantage of everything it has to offer.
