Last week @airresources.bsky.social approved rule changes that would give over $3b in free pollution allowances to Big Oil & industrial polluters while reducing revenue for transit, affordable housing, clean water & air programs. 👉 Take action now bit.ly/4edzf6t via @transbaycoalition.bsky.social!

Happy to report two harmful e-bike bills have died in committee, while SB 1167, which helps define e-bikes vs e-motos, is moving along to the Assembly. Read more!

YES! we're thrilled to see our friends at @bikenewyork.bsky.social get recognition for the joyful work of getting people rolling; we know firsthand in SF that it's life-changing and empowering for our students! Find all our classes here: sfbike.org/edu www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/n...

"This is the largest grassroots signature-gathering effort in the history of the Bay Area, and represents thousands of hours spent by people from all backgrounds and all corners of our five-county region to protect this thing—transit—that matters to millions of Bay Area residents."

This marks an early win for California in the battle to regulate e-motos, and is an important step towards curtailing these illegal, out-of-class devices while protecting legal and sustainable e-mobility access for everyone!

An upgraded line for the T train, a new bike lane on Terry Francis Blvd – don't need to tell us twice! See you in the bike lane on the way to the game 😎🏀

Our Senior Community Organizer, Rachel Clyde, in the Standard this am: “We should be supporting and passing laws that support and expand access to e-bikes, not to make it more difficult for people to own and use them."

Thanks @sfgate.com for reporting on the uptick of private vehicles on Market! "The ambiguity of the passenger commercial vehicle loophole is creating confusion for drivers, which sows dangerous circumstances for pedestrians and people on bikes.” -Christopher White, Executive Director at SFBike

Twin peaks is undergoing a transformation! 🪄 The car-free portion of twin peaks Blvd is gaining more park amenities – benches, dedicated spots for skateboarders, bike racks, + more – building on the last ten years of habitat restoration and pedestrianization efforts.

"[Sharrows] are hardly better than nothing at all [...] the city should review all sharrows and bikeways on roads where the speed limit is over 20 mph, and upgrade those bikeways to protected bike lanes." - Christopher White, Exectuive Director of SFBike missionlocal.org/2026/03/sf-i...

it's time for more nuanced legislation surrounding e-bikes!

This is why it's so important to look at a full year of data after major streets changes to get a realistic look at actual changes, not perceived. Thank you Kristi Coale for this important reporting!

"By pursuing aggressive blanket regulation, policymakers are making a basic form of transportation and a familiar element of childhood less accessible," Kevin R. Parker writes. https://wapo.st/4aQPpCm

Martin "Marty" MacIntyre, a longtime street safety advocate and SFBike member, passed away in February. Martin helped get the first ever bike lane on Lake Street through neighbor-led civiv engagement. He will be missed in the biking community. 🧡 Read our 2017 profile of Martin and Lake St...

"When a car blocks a bike lane", says our Director of Advocacy Claire Amable, "cyclists have to veer around that car into traffic, which can be going as fast as 40 miles an hour." Physical infrastructure to protect bike lanes is hands down the best way to protect people biking.

"Every time someone rides a bike—for transportation, for joy, for health, for protest, or for survival—they’re moving through systems shaped by public policy, power, and priorities. Who gets safe streets. Who doesn’t. Who breathes clean air. Who is protected—and who is put at risk."

SFBike is shutting down business as usual today for staff to stand in solidarity with those fighting systems of oppression in Minnesota, the U.S., and worldwide, by participating in the national day of action.

On Friday, we launched the signature campaign for Connect Bay Area, a five-county transit funding measure headed for the November 2026 ballot. I wrote the legislation, and @connectbayareatransit is collecting signatures right now to qualify this measure for the ballot.

A thriving downtown SF doesn't have to mean more traffic congestion if we continue to invest in sustainable transportation investments that get more people using active transportation and transit to move around the city.

Kickoff event for the Connect Bay Area Transit campaign is on Friday, Jan 23 @10am, Embarcadero Plaza! Join to support getting a robust regional transit funding measure on the ballot, and help save Bay Area transit. RSVP for more info. luma.com/le1g7slf

New DCWP Commissioner Sam Levine pledged to crack down on app companies that pressure delivery workers to use e-bikes and cars recklessly.

While we're cautiously optimistic that fatalities are trending lower than 2024, which was the deadliest year since the start of VZ, there is more work to do to make our roads safer and modeshift away from car dependency, which we must do for our climate goals. www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

“Having the consistency of automated speed enforcement and automated red light enforcement has had such an impact … We want to see it expanded throughout the city, and I think that the mayor’s initiative is going to give a lot of power behind that.” -Christopher White, Executive Director at SFBike

We need a transit funding measure that allows for an ambitious return for Muni and other transit agencies. 💪 Join the rally on Monday! RSVP to the rally and more info here: luma.com/t74ror5t @myrnamelgard7.bsky.social @jackiefielder.bsky.social @sftru.bsky.social

Congratulations to Alan Wong, who Mayor Lurie has appointed as supervisor for District 4; Sunset residents deserve someone who will focus on their needs, and we hope he’ll prioritize safe streets and a vibrant neighborhood.

We learned yesterday that a man riding on a bike was struck and killed late on Sunday, November 16, by a person driving a car, at Alemany and Naglee in the Outer Mission. The person driving the car fled the scene, but a suspect has been apprehended by SFPD.

Congratulations to the interim Supervisor for District 4, Beya Alcaraz! We’re excited to work with her on active transportation projects in her district and across San Francisco.

"Sunset Dunes is a testament to what happens when San Francisco thinks big and invests in public spaces. [...] And it reminds us that we shouldn’t let fear of change keep us from imagining something better for our neighborhoods." www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Thrilled that SB 720 is now state law! Thank you to Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social for signing the bill, and SAFE for their leadership on this bill, and to all our members for sending emails and making phone calls to Sacramento to make our voices heard!

🚦Tell Governor Newsom to sign SB 720 by October 13 in a few easy clicks ➡️ bit.ly/pass-SB720 SB 720 creates an equitable and efficient approach for California cities to implement lifesaving red-light enforcement cameras. We need to send a surge of support to the Governor today! 🚦

I ran Sunset Dunes with a blind marathoner and a man with Parkinson’s. They offered new perspective about San Francisco’s stunning but imperfect parks system, culture critic Peter Hartlaub...

SFBike supports a people-first vision for San Francisco and we applaud Supervisor Engardio @joelengardio.bsky.social for upholding San Francisco’s transportation and climate values to create Sunset Dunes.

Our Executive Director Christopher White on KTVU discussing the counter-productive impact of the Mayor's decision to allow Waymo, Lyft, and Uber on Market Street: www.ktvu.com/video/1698965

Today, the Keep Market Street Moving alliance showed up in force, with dozens of San Franciscans turning up to deliver public comment demanding that the SFMTA Board of Directors take seriously its authority to adopt regulations about road usage, and take seriously their oversight of Market Street.

We don’t want to go back to a dangerous, chaotic Market Street. We want a Market Street that’s for the PEOPLE! #SaveCarFreeMarketSt Email Mayor Lurie now at walksf.org/market @sfbike.org @sftru.bsky.social @streetsforallsf.org

Improving the experience of *being on* Market Street, with efforts like activations and night markets, are what bring people out to Market Street – not private vehicles. Hear more in this interview with our Executive Director Christopher White: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfmB...

Join the Keep Market Street Moving alliance TODAY 5-6pm on Montgomery & Market Streets to protest the decision to return private vehicles on Market Street. Let's make some noise for car-free Market Street. - @sfbike.org, @walksf.org, @streetsforallsf.org, @sftru.bsky.social, & Community Streets

Thanks @kqednews.kqed.org for this thoughtful article about Market Street and the about the impending chaos Mayor Lurie is opening the door to by allowing ridehail taxi companies back onto the corridor.

We've already gotten 16 thousand emails sent to the mayor in just twelve hours –  there's still time to add your name and tell the Mayor to reverse course on his decision to allow private vehicles back on Market Street! actionnetwork.org/letters/keep...

Following his decision to allow Waymos on Market Street, Mayor Lurie announced this morning that Uber and Lyft will now be allowed to pick up and drop off on Market.

Kicked off another busy @aejmc.bsky.social conference day bright and early this morning by joining a women and non-binary group ride (organized by @sfbike.org) through Golden Gate Park and along the beach. Beautiful!

"[Law enforcement misreporting an e-moped or e-motorbike as an e-bike] can propagate narratives in the minds of the public that are not true about the safety or lack of safety of different devices" -Christopher White, Executive Director @ SFBike

fyi – SF's speed cameras will begin issuing fines starting tomorrow. Speeding is the #1 cause of severe and fatal crashes on our streets, and early data shows that daily speed warnings are dropping up to 34% at some intersections. These cameras are slowing down our streets and saving lives. 👏

“The park is the centerpiece of a western edge revival here in SF” - Kathryn Grantham of Black Bird Bookstore A thorough look at how SF's newest coastal park has been going,and we're especially happy to see how biking and walking infrastructure help boost business!

SFBike is devastated to hear of another pedestrian fatality here in San Francisco, the ninth this year. Last Friday, a person riding a Lime scooter collided with a 77-year-old man crossing Market at 6th street, and he succumbed to his injuries that day.
