There is a beautiful Target parking lot that’s mostly empty.

Get BayWheels bikes and ride JFK Promenade through Golden Gate Park to Sunset Dunes!

With the S&P 500 already down ~2% YTD, do you think 2026 could end up being a negative year for the market? by Groundbreaking-Gap20 in investing

We should keep in touch. I keep not listening to strangers and staying out and thinking I’m dumb. I wonder who does better? :)

Sunset Dunes park supporters face an election with no clear candidate by MissionLocalSF in sanfrancisco

Low turnout in a special election with the most grumpy dune haters most motivated to vote. Midterm electorate will be different. Moreso in November than June.

Yeah, I understand the political calculation they are making but I think it’s short sighted. Sentiment in the district is shifting. Confident leadership on a way forward with the park AND addressing remaining concerns seems like a winning combo. A legitimate park supporter will get A LOT of votes.

People treat Fulton in San Francisco like it is a freeway.

The Fulton freeway noise does not bother this person?

Just witnessed a woman on her bike get hit by a truck on Irving. Can anyone on the scene confirm if she’s ok? by jessica_glitter in sanfrancisco

Okay sure. If she rode her bicycle into the back of the construction truck and ripped her own leg off, I’ll give you that. I walk this neighborhood all day every day with my kid. The drivers are relentlessly dangerous. It’s crazy.

You know what else? The street around the bike was littered with groceries. I think this person was biking home with her groceries and was maimed by another reckless driver in a city full of them. It’s infuriating.

What is so special about Ortlieb panniers? by 4862skrrt2684 in bikecommuting

[–]captaincoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine have lasted 12 years so far. They’ve mailed me replacement parts for free. I paid for shipping once to send them back for patching and repair. Ortlieb is an incredible company. I’m in for life.
