Don't take your frustration out on fellow road users. Instead, work with the SF Bicycle Coalition to improve the system that is putting us all at risk through lack of adequate biking facilities and clearly designated space for motorists and bicyclists. The SFBC's 8,000 members are working tirelessly for a citywide Bike Network that will connect major neighborhoods, commercial centers, schools, and transit centers with safe, comfortable bike routes. Our goal is create a Bike Network that allows anyone from 8 to 80 to try biking.
