The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition promotes the bicycle as everyday transportation and pushes for better and safer streets. Executive Director Brian Wiedenmeier highlights what’s happening on the streets of San Francisco that is good, or bad, for bicyclists. He-gives a shout-out to the Bicycle Coalition’s valet bike parking at the new Chase Center, where automobile parking may be scarce. In the works, he said, are reconfiguring Page Street near the freeway to make it bike-friendly by protecting the bike lane and eliminating atraffic bottleneck, finding out what riders want to see on Market Street, and working toward Vision Zero — zero traffic deaths by 2024.
“And for people who drive, the better and safer we make it to get more people out of their cars, the easier it’s going to be for those folks who do still need to drive.” — Brian Wiedenmeier, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition executive director
