Since the 1970s we’ve worked with BART to lift restrictions on bikes, and make it easier for people on both sides of the Bay to combine bikes and transit. When BART opened its doors in 1972, bikes were completely banned. From 1975 until 1997, riders were required to carry a ‘Bike Permit’ on board at all times. Thankfully, the SF Bicycle Coalition worked hard to help end that onerous requirement and open up regional travel across the bay. Since the 90s, BART has had a confusing set of rules prohibiting bikes at some stations on some lines dur- ing rush hour, referred to as the “Rush-Hour Bike Ban.” Thanks to our work, and the East Bay Bicycle Coalition’s, we received over 500 letters of support from members, and organized hundreds of volunteers to help with the pilot. Because of this huge support, bikes are now allowed on BART at all times of the day, starting July 1, 2013! Starting July 1, you can bring your bike on BART any time of day. In May, the BART Board of Directors voted to hold a five-month pilot program, allowing bikes at all times. They want to see how the program works before voting to make the change permanent in October. So, you can now bring your bike on BART all day long – just be sure to avoid the first three cars during rush hour and never bring your bike on a crowded train. We want to make sure all BART riders have a comfortable and pleasant ride, so please use common sense and courtesy when trains are crowded. Times Thanks to the Dolan Law Firm for supporting Tube We’ve heard loud and clear from members that regional bike access is important. This BART change is a huge step. Be sure to let us know how your BART ride is, or what you think about these changes at SF Bicycle Coalition Cathy Kora is happy about more bike access on BART. sfbike.org/bart.

  • Touring Bike Buyer's Guide
    TOURING BIKE BUYER’S GUIDE By Mike Deme I’ve held many job titles in my days at version, I went back and reread each of the previous guides. Not only did I find each writer’s approach very informative but enter - the Adventure Cycling Association, one taining as well. Despite the positive qualities of the articles, I felt they were a bit repetitive, but not for any fault of the writers. It’s of which was Information Specialist. In just that there hasn’t been any major advances in touring bike design recently so there is only so much to discuss. Influenced by that capacity, I was charged with these talented people, including Sheldon Brown, Fred Meredith, Tom Shaddox, and Fred Matheny, I thought I’d try a less techni - answering questions posed to the organ - cal approach. Carry on. So why don’t people interested in a bike designed for loaded ization as a whole, which were then, as touring have the same options as someone interested in a bike designed for road racing or mountain biking? The answer is sim - they are now, plenteous. At least half of ple: economics. Manufacturers and retailers want to sell a lot of bikes. The more they sell, the more money they make. And they these questions concern touring bikes. just don’t sell a lot of touring bikes. For those people who may have a chip on their shoulder about this, please, remove it now. It’s not helpful. The reality is The touring bicycle has been discussed, on and off, in the that fewer people like to tour by bicycle than like to participate in pages of Bike Report and Adventure Cyclist magazine, for as long as almost all other forms of cycling.

He has a 50-year-old wooden sailboat that he owns (or perhaps owns him) and sails, but he does ride his mountain bike around town for transportation. He likes to tease me about my fleet of weird bikes. But when I we walked into the door of PT Cycles and he saw the Greenspeed GTT tandem tricycle, his eyes lit up. He decided to ride the tandem in the parade with his daughter Emma, who is six. We decided that Jeff needed a GTT piloting course. We rolled the GTT out the door. I told Jeff to hang on, and we were ripping down Water Street. Jeff reminded me that he needed to unlock his Stumpjumper so Amy could ride it home, so I pulled a quick U-turn in the middle of Water Street and headed back into town.

Do you want more? Join us in uncovering new places around the world on: www.111places.com Foreword In all my years living in San Francisco, I have never stopped discover- ing new places, hidden stairways, unexpected vistas, and stories embedded in every crevice. Strolling the city’s rolling terrain brings you face-to-face with these charming details, like the scrollwork on an old Victorian, an overgrown garden of jasmine in a concealed alley, or the lively salsa rhythms drifting out of an open window. For a city that is only seven miles wide and seven miles long, the diversity here is stunning; from musicians, artists, and hippies, to hipsters and entrepreneurs, its population refects every human shape, color, and spirit. It’s not only the people who have defned the neighborhoods, but the land itself: there are 14 hills across which the city rises and falls. In San Francisco, each hill, from Telegraph to Potrero, and every valley, from Noe to Hayes, has its own architecture, its own history, and even its own weather.
