• Bicycle Blitz Brings 'Sexual Healing' to SOMA

  By Peter Jamison An interesting scene awaited anybody who happened to be passing by 8th and Howard in SOMA last night after dark: Bright lights, lots of bicycles, and a speaker system blaring Max-A-Million's reggae remix of "Sexual Healing." I know what you're thinking, and yes, the mood was unusually festive for a corner typically populated by folks lollygagging on their way to or from leather stores and methadone clinics. Turns out this was one of roughly a half-dozen similar events put on

• Tour de Fromage Rides Again

  The French are jealousGluttonously creative San Francisco's answer to the Tour de France, the Tour de Fromage is sure to be the highlight of the numerous "chain of events" hosted by the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition."The ride will be moderately difficult: Around 10 to 15 miles, but at a leisurely pace," advised organizer Juliana Gallin. She also said that, because the Coalition likes its riders to be surprised, the exact route is kept under wraps -- cheesecloth? -- until they're actually on th

We're also amazed at how fast the camera-ready potential mayoral candidate's cycling photo was up and ready on his city Web page -- that's speed and efficiency you don't need to blow throu

Riders will meet at Humphry Slocombe (2790 Harrison at 24th St.) and proceed to another five (or more) ice cream shops during the 10- to 12-mile ride. Organizers are keeping the other stops under wraps, but with all the great shops in the Mission (Mitchell's, Bi-Rite, La Copa Loca, Xanath, to name a few), it may be hard to leave the ar

• 'Rad' Movie and Snacks Next Week

   With recent events such as the Ice Cream Sunday Ride, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition has truly clued in to the wondrous crossover potential between cycling enthusiasts and noshing. We've learned via eavesdropping on the Twitter feeds of some of our favorite street food vendors that SFBC has asked some of them to sell their food while they screen the 1986 cult BMX flick Rad. So, while you take in the Eighties kitschiness (including a small role for Olympic gymnastics champ Bart Conner

  ​Following last month's screening of BMX cult classic flick Rad, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition will host a free screening of the mountain bike movie Klunkerz on Wednesday, August 19 at 8 p.m. in the parking lot across the street from Good Hotel (112 7th St. at Mission). Not only will there be free valet parking for your bike, but, as in last month's event, which featured snacks for sale from Spencer on the Go, Magic Curry Kart, Amuse Bouche, Bike Basket Pies, and others, SFBC is once again i

• Publicist Claims Teslas Aren't for Silently Running Down Cyclists

  Following an explosion of social media outrage at a British car columnist who delighted in using a Tesla Roadster to silently run cyclists off the road, self-identified San Francisco Bicycle Coalition member Rachel Konrad stepped in to quell the storm."It's the most severe of the sort of comments I've seen from the petrol heads. We do get this out of Britain once in a while. It's often a great review of the car, and they put in an offhanded comment that smacks down cyclists. I just don't reall

• 'Signs' Point to Better Times Ahead for Cyclists

  The tide is turning...​ For San Francisco's ever-growing cadre of bicyclists, this week opened with both good news and bad.On Monday, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Peter Busch postponed until Nov. 12 his decision on whether to allow the city to install bicycle improvements. San Francisco has for years been barred from installing amenities such as bike lanes and racks thanks to a court injunction based on the theory that the city hadn't devoted sufficient environmental review to the notion
