We agree with much of @aarieff.bsky.social's opinion piece in @sfchronicle.com about Market Street's unmet potential. We'd add that improving the active transportation experience for people who ride bikes and scooters is the critical first step to creating places that people want to go, and linger!

Do you walk, bike, or take transit in the Fillmore/Western Addition? We want to hear from you! Swing by on Tuesday, Sept. 29th for free coffee & donuts and chat with Walk SF, @sfbike.org, and @sftru.bsky.social about how together we can build safer streets and transit that works for everyone!

"The neighborways were supposed to offer a network of slow, calm streets for pedestrians and cyclists. But without a completed network, the sole finished project, on Ortega Street, has failed to make much of a difference." From @junyaoyang.bsky.social on @missionlocal.org

We're biased, but we can't think of a better way to roll into matrimony than on bikes, surrounded by friends on bikes! We were honored to play a small part in making Deb and Matt's wedding day special. Congratulations, you two!

We're joining our fellow advocates at @walksf.org, @streetsforallsf.org and SPUR to ask Prop G’s proponents to stop using the false traffic injury claim in their campaign materials and signage. Voters deserve honest data, not cherry-picked misinformation.

Potential cuts to San Francisco’s public transit system would be significantly worse for the city’s economy than the effects of a proposed parcel tax to fund it, according to a new analysis from the controller's office. via @kellywaldron.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/09/san-...

Our very own Claire Amable, director of advocacy, talked to @sfstandard.com about biking in SF: "Help the people in your life who don’t already do it see that this is a very practical way to get around the city and oftentimes the fastest and the most enjoyable." sfstandard.com/2026/09/04/b...

Thoughtful piece from former Sunset District Supervisor Gordon Mar in the @sfchronicle.com: "There is still room for compromise — not necessarily over whether cars return to the Great Highway, but over how we make Sunset Dunes work better for the entire west side."

We continue to be concerned that insufficient AV oversight creates safety concerns, so we're glad to see the mayor calling for greater regulation!

Yet another great reason to bike to major events happening in the city – avoid the traffic meltdown, get to the event on time! Thank you for biking 🎆

The California Bicycle Coalition today applauded the Assembly Transportation Committee’s passage of SB 1167, authored by Senator Catherine S. Blakespear and co-sponsored by CalBike, PeopleForBikes, Streets For All, and Streets Are For Everyone.

Last week @airresources.bsky.social approved rule changes that would give over $3b in free pollution allowances to Big Oil & industrial polluters while reducing revenue for transit, affordable housing, clean water & air programs. 👉 Take action now bit.ly/4edzf6t via @transbaycoalition.bsky.social!

Happy to report two harmful e-bike bills have died in committee, while SB 1167, which helps define e-bikes vs e-motos, is moving along to the Assembly. Read more!

YES! we're thrilled to see our friends at @bikenewyork.bsky.social get recognition for the joyful work of getting people rolling; we know firsthand in SF that it's life-changing and empowering for our students! Find all our classes here: sfbike.org/edu www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/n...

This marks an early win for California in the battle to regulate e-motos, and is an important step towards curtailing these illegal, out-of-class devices while protecting legal and sustainable e-mobility access for everyone!

An upgraded line for the T train, a new bike lane on Terry Francis Blvd – don't need to tell us twice! See you in the bike lane on the way to the game 😎🏀

Thanks @sfgate.com for reporting on the uptick of private vehicles on Market! "The ambiguity of the passenger commercial vehicle loophole is creating confusion for drivers, which sows dangerous circumstances for pedestrians and people on bikes.” -Christopher White, Executive Director at SFBike

"[Sharrows] are hardly better than nothing at all [...] the city should review all sharrows and bikeways on roads where the speed limit is over 20 mph, and upgrade those bikeways to protected bike lanes." - Christopher White, Exectuive Director of SFBike missionlocal.org/2026/03/sf-i...

This is why it's so important to look at a full year of data after major streets changes to get a realistic look at actual changes, not perceived. Thank you Kristi Coale for this important reporting!

"By pursuing aggressive blanket regulation, policymakers are making a basic form of transportation and a familiar element of childhood less accessible," Kevin R. Parker writes. https://wapo.st/4aQPpCm

"When a car blocks a bike lane", says our Director of Advocacy Claire Amable, "cyclists have to veer around that car into traffic, which can be going as fast as 40 miles an hour." Physical infrastructure to protect bike lanes is hands down the best way to protect people biking.

"Every time someone rides a bike—for transportation, for joy, for health, for protest, or for survival—they’re moving through systems shaped by public policy, power, and priorities. Who gets safe streets. Who doesn’t. Who breathes clean air. Who is protected—and who is put at risk."
