could not have happened without the leadership of phil ginsburg, somewhere here biking with us. at the recreation and parks commission. he is now a regular bicyclist. he started writing last year, but his bike on bike to work day, and is writing a couple times a week here in the city. we are thrilled. we could not have done this without the city leadership here today both political and business. we could not have done it without the strong commitment of mayor lee. sometimes these bikeways hit snags. jfk drive bikeway is a great example of that. now we are looking throughout the city and counting on the mayor's leadership. we know we will have it because he is such a strong supporter.

lot of details to do. maybe getting the paint to make sure that is a dedicated lan. phel and oak will be another great challenge. i would like to have something on vaness so that i can get to work easier. i want to say thanks to the supervisors, the departments, the mta, the police department, we are so lucky to have so many agencies when it comes to bicycle safety increasing. i also want to say thank you to the businesses that are supporting us to make it more bicycle friendly. the reason we are experiencing a 71% increase in the last year, 7businesses are stepping up as well.

work day. i'm john avalos, i represented district 11, the most southern part of an francisco. we are well past cesar chavez, and this morning we came from naples and geneva, close to the broken record. it is a great place there, some great food. 10 of us rode from there, about 45 minutes from that spot. i have been writing that way for about 12 years, and back then, we did not have any bike infrastructure whatsoever. now we have dedicated lanes, places to turn that are much safer than ever before. it is just the start of all the changes we need to have in the city. it is really exciting to hear from a lot of businesses that

are contributing to the bike economy. we need that kind of partnership in the business community to be able to create greater space for biking in the city. the board of supervisors had passed access to make it easier for bikers to enter buildings. they will not get stolen off the streets, and we are making more space for pedestrians as well. these are the small tools we are using to get to 20% by the year 2020. i am cooperating with the mayor to make that happen, thank you very much. . thank you very much. >> good morning, everyone. are you excited? this morning, i am happy to report that we came from the road house coffee that is located on third street. when people think that they view

>> good morning, buenos dias. i represent district 9 which includes the mission and vernal heights, we had a great day writing to city hall. -- riding to city hall. i do want to go back to something president chiu said. if we meet our objective of 20%, we have to make sure that we are investing more money into our bike infrastructure. we have to make sure a higher percentage of the overall budget is spent on biking. i want to thank the coalition because one of the things they are doing in my district and other parts of the city is working with kids to get more kids on bikes. biking, to really be sustained, we need to make sure the next generation is part of that. the last thing i will say is

that we need to take the message of what is happening here in san francisco to influence what is happening in the rest of the region. the supervisors wienr -- supervisor wiener and i are on the commission and we need to make sure that the objectives can be translated. we look forward to working on that. thank you very much. >> hi, everyone. i'm scott wiener, i represent district 8 on the board of supervisors. let's hear it for district 8. we came from the castro, i am more of a muni guy. but it is important for me to get on the road and remind myself of all the work that we have done and all the work that we need to do.
