San Francisco has become a very bicycle friendly city, the impression grows with every visit.
Talk about “sharrows.” (See posting below.) They’re everywhere, including in bus-only lanes, and widely used.
Bicycle riders were ubiquitous and often a bit intimidating, sad to say, zipping in and out of traffic and often in and among pedestrians crossing at busy downtown intersections. This in spite of the fact that the temps were in the low ’50s, although under mostly clear skies.
On a trip across the Bay from the Ferry Building (which incidentally has become a major tourist area) to Sausalito, mid-day on a Wednesday, there were at least a dozen riders on each leg of the voyage on rental bikes from Blazing Saddles.
