Bicyclist, backpacker, beer drinker. Neighborhood organizer. I can read topo maps and sundials.
Also, the poor people with 6’6” fences…

Have you visited Oakland United in Jack London district? East Bay Nights is an excellent black lager, and Sleeping Car Giants is a robust Baltic Porter.

See his website… a small independent shop dedicated to maps, books about maps and geography. Map nerds rejoice! Reminds me of the store by same name used to be in Berkeley on Bancroft.

I use an anonymous Clipper card, and just put more cash on it once in a while. No bank or credit card linked. I’ll be curious to see how long it takes me to tap in on the bus.

Traffic Engineers have a role to play in safety of bicyclists on roads, yes. But municipal maintenance has a role, too. Broken pavement and potholes cannot be blamed on engineers.

My two cents on throttle bikes (lectric or gas) is they have no place on bike paths for pedal-assist bicycles.

So no “dry” bicycle access between San Francisco and points north of Sausalito. Wild!

It’s insane that after the chaos and dysfunction of her tenure, after being thrown out by voters, that she would display such utter contempt for Alameda County as to run again for the same office.
