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.

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! 🚦

Thousands of students across San Francisco will walk, bike, scoot, and roll to school during the week of October 6-10.

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.

We stand with Supervisor Joel Engardio and encourage all District 4 voters to Vote No on his recall! Read our Board's official endorsement of the No on A campaign ➡️ sfbike.org/news/endorse...

This highlights what we already know – these speed cameras are revealing the extent of SF's speeding problem, which is widespread and incredibly unsafe. The next step is to expand this past the initial 33 cameras to cover more of the High Injury Network. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...

Read our letter opposing the Mayor's citywide RV ban: sfbike.org/wp-content/u... We stand in solidarity with the End Poverty Tows Coalition, and you can too by sending a letter to City leaders now. ➡️ actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

This is a disappointing move from @sfmta.com. The popularity of the Residential Traffic Calming Program should incentivize the city to expand on its success, using a data-driven approach that prioritizes the HIN and speeding hotspots – not cancel it altogether. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/t...

Funding approved for bike projects on the Embarcadero and Jefferson Street! Read more: sfbike.org/news/funding...

FYI the application window for this was moved to May 29!

We're out at City Hall for Supervisor Melgar's safe streets rally today

An estimated 18k crashes every year. 33k injuries, nearly 200 fatalities. And the total costs associated with those collisions? $500 mil a year. missionlocal.org/2025/04/sf-c...

"Preserving and expanding current levels of Muni service while continuing to support pedestrian safety and bicycle access is the best way for Mayor Lurie to revitalize downtown." 👏 www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Mayor Lurie’s decision to permit AVs onto Market St makes the corridor significantly more dangerous for people walking, biking, scooting, and taking transit. Kid Safe SF, the SF Bicycle Coalition, SFTR, and Walk SF joined together to denounce this decision and advocate to keep Market St car-free.

Before car-free Market Street, half of the city’s ten most dangerous intersections were on Market Street, with almost three people injured each week on average. Mayor Lurie should focus efforts on increasing foot traffic, not vehicle traffic. @kidsafesf.bsky.social @sfbike.org @sftru.bsky.social

Alongside @kidsafesf.bsky.social, @sftru.bsky.social and @walksf.org, we denounce Mayor Lurie’s decision to permit Waymos onto car-free Market. It's a dangerous decision made with a shocking lack of process, and it won't solve Market Street's problems. Full statement: sfbike.org/news/joint-s...

Today, @sfmta.com Board of Directors *unanimously* approved the Oak Street Quick-Build. This crucial east-west connector will immediately improve the safety along the Panhandle for everyone — bikers and non-bikers alike. Thanks to our members and advocates for supporting it vocally for over a year!

Taking private cars off Market Street has improved safety for people walking and biking, and has improved transit significantly. As we told @sfchronicle.com, "those are the signs of a thriving urban environment. Not a freeway in the middle of the city.” 💥 www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/m...

Good news from our friends across the Bay -- let's keep the pressure up!

The Oak-Street quick-build is almost to the finish line! Turn out to give public comment on 4/1 or send in a letter of support by 3/31. sfbike.org/news/oak-str...

Incredible convening of the Bay Area Bicycle Coalitions yesterday! We got to all hang in person, swap ideas, and go on the most beautiful bike ride. So thankful to be part of this inspiring coalition of advocates. ✨

Can you believe it's been five years since #JFKPromenade was closed to cars & opened to people 24-7? 😲 Join us & our friends at @sfbike.org , @kidsafesf.bsky.social, and Church of 8 Wheels in celebrating this safe, joyful space on Sun. April 27. 🌟 ➡️ Details & RSVP at walksf.org/jfk5years

At the Bay Area bike coalitions convening we took a big ride around Golden Gate Park and the panhandle. Multiple people saw our big group (of mixed gender riders in casual clothes) and shouted to ask what our ride was and how they could join next time.

Starting tomorrow, the Great Highway will officially be closed to cars, and Ocean Beach Park will take its stead on April 12! Celebrate with us at the grand opening party. 🎉 sfbike.org/news/new-par...

Thank you to Assemblymembers Haney & Stefani for signing on to the Assembly request for immediate $2 billion funding from the state to keep public transportation running through 2027. Strong, healthy transit is a necessary complement to safe and accessible biking & rolling. @scottwiener.bsky.social

Along with fellow advocates, we are frustrated by the SFMTA revisiting Valencia Street’s approved design and reintroducing left turns along the corridor at the Mayor’s urging. This is unsafe and will be ineffective in improving traffic flow. See our joint statement: sfbike.org/news/open-le...

The Biking & Rolling Plan passed last night (🙌🎉), but we know this is just a start – the plan needs to be more ambitious to truly make SF streets safe for everyone biking, walking, rolling, and using transit. Read our press release here: sfbike.org/news/press-r...

The park bordering Ocean Beach in San Francisco will open in six weeks, and the Great Highway will close to traffic for good. 📰: www.sfgate.com/local/articl...
