It was an incredible day for Bike to Work Day—according to the SFBC there were twice as many bicycles as cars headed downtown on San Francisco’s Market Street on the 14th annual Bike to Work Day. Bicyclists made up 64% of the eastbound traffic at Market St. & Van Ness Ave., while motorists comprised 32% between 8am and 9am today. (The remainder was transit vehicles and taxis). This is a nearly 31% increase over the number of people biking last year on Bike to Work Day. The counts were taken by the Municipal Transportation Agency.
It was also an incredible day in San Francisco period. The weather was 85+ degrees which means that being in a body of water was mandatory. So Keri and I opted to crash the downtown Holiday Inn’s swimming pool. Pretty much the best thing ever.
