You will be joining DPW Director Ed Reiskin and other DPW staff when you Bike to Work on May13th!

DPW and the San Francisco Bike Coalition are partners on several initiatives, including the Good Roads Campaign and the Turn Em In Campaign where SFBC members mark and report potholes and DPW responds. When you Bike to Work on May 13th, let us know if you see any potholes and we will respond right away. You will be helping us keep our streets safe!

It’s that time of year again…time for Bike to Work Day!

As part of my commitment to my Earth Day resolutions, I decided to try biking part of my epic commute. I drive 50 miles each way on any given workday, and I feel pretty bad about my carbon footprint, and my general lack of exercise that are the result of so much drive time. We’ve had a fair number of storms recently in the Bay Area, so I haven’t had a chance to try my new plan yet. I figure Bike to Work Day gives me the perfect opportunity!

Thursday: Bike To Work Day. Grab your bike, pedal to work and visit one of the many SFBC Energizer Stations across the City, or one of the many events across the Bay Area.

Cyclists planning to participate in the Bay Area’s 16th Annual Bike to Work Day on Thursday will be greeted by a new feature on Market Street — a separate bike lane now replete with bright green paint.

The enhancements to the bike lane were added over the weekend to Market Street between Gough and Eighth streets. The green paint, similar in color to a “bike box” put down on Scott Street earlier this year, coincides with a new measure to separate the bike lane by adding “safe-hit” posts to the area designated for cyclists.

There will be two energizing stations Thursday morning for Valley bicyclists as part of the county's Bike to Work Day.

Stations will be set up from 6 to 9 a.m. on the bike path and Highway 12, sponsored by the City of Sonoma, and at MacArthur Place, 29 E. MacArthur St., sponsored by MacArthur Place. And Thursday evening, there will be a Bike Home from Work celebration from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at MacArthur Place.
