San Francisco Bicycle Coalition - Bike SF
Go to
www.sfbike.org to learn more about bicycling in and around San Francisco. That's how I get around, and here are some of the reasons why: (1) Because being green is the way to be. (2) Freedom from parking hassles and tickets. (3) Don't have to buy gas. (4) Great excercise and lots of fun. (5) Best way to see/enjoy the city you live in. (6) No feelings of road rage or stress. (7) Sense of community - bicyclists bond. (8) It makes me more involved with my city because I don't get that "removed" feeling you get when you're just driving through. (9) Exhileration! It makes me feel great, wherever I go. (10) Parking considered, it's often literally the fastest way to get around the city. So, if you'd like to save money on a car ($20,000), gas ($1,000/yr), tickets and parking($??), repairs ($600?/yr), insurance ($1,200/yr), etc. etc. (=$34,000+/5yr) ... Get a bike and start peddling to get in shape, protect the environment and connect with your home city. It's great! =)
