Doyle Drive Danger
Confusing signage is leading cyclists to take the wrong path down Doyle Drive. ChronicleWatch highlights the hazard here.
Get a taste of bike sharing this Sunday
Bike Sharing is a relatively new transportation solution. The idea has been around for a while now, the most recent inception is Paris's Velib sharing program.
Today SFGate tackled the idea of San Francisco implementing a Bike Share Program. In January the Mayors Office announced a bike sharing plan for San Francisco. The idea has drawn criticism from many that the program is starting too small, San Francisco doesn't have the proper bicycle infrastructure to handle a bike share program and a complaint that the bike share program would be funded by Clear Channel.
That being said this Sunday at car -free Golden Gate Park, a mini bike share program, BIXI, will be letting people give bike sharing a shot.

Matt Gramly on KRON 4
Tonight Matt Gramly is going to be on KRON 4 discussing the controversial helmet law in El Cerrito, CA.
In El Cerrito, the ordinance was never posted, never published and no one knew of its existence until the police dept. went on an "enforcement campaign" and started ticketing bicyclists left and right. One of them decided to fight. Rahman Gramly took his case, took it to trial and received a not guilty verdict. It was not a big case but the principle was important to our client.
Watch him discuss tonight on the KRON 4 six o'clock news.
Cheers!
