underrepresented in biking in the soma bike lanes. asian and hispanic women were particularly underrepresented in this group. from the focus groups, we received some comments that biking was perceived as largely a young and white and male activity. and some comments as well that people like me don't bike. so biking may have an image problem to continue to work on in san francisco. another focus group finding was social expectations about dress, appearance and grooming persist despite san francisco's allegedly relaxed attitude in the bay area. and that this is especially true for women. women who didn't bike perceived this is a significant barrier to biking. oh, i couldn't bike and look the way i need to look to get to work. that is some anecdotal feedback we received. additionally, women in focus groups recommended using social networks such as social events at which women could try biking in a relaxed environment or building but he systems that pair experience women cyclists with novices to help women who are not currently biking and

today they see 2,000 bike riders. caltrans station access prioritize access by public transit, walking and biking over access by private autos. and in caltrans 2016 survey, of the fourth and king station they saw 70% of the passengers accessing through these active mows. sfmta runs bus routes connecting customers to cal trains. this is the beginning and ending of six of our muni routes. so townshend serves an important role of storing these buses between runs and allowing our operators much needed break time. and since the bike share system was first launched in the bay area, the cal train bike share stations have been the three most top used station in the system and that is still true today even as the system has expanded across san francisco out to the east bay. even with all the activity in use, if you go 200 feet beyond the end trance to the caltrains station the sidewalk ends. the photo on the west shows the south side of townshend street without sidewalks between the station and seventh street. gaps exist in th

and what about bikes? this small shop wants to show the people of beijg that cyclining can be funun. customers can design their own bikes here. >> you can pick any color you want. see which one you like. some customers rediscover cycycling through riding rentl bikes. they use them, but they don't find them comfortable enough. they're too small, don't have enough gears, or are only suitable for shortrt distance. and many rental bikes are in bad condition and are poorly maintained. after riding the rental bikeks however, people decide they want to buy one of their own. and slowly but surely, the bicycle culture is reemerging. reporter: so bike sharing has acted as a catalyst, helping beijing residents rediscover an important means of transport from the past. now all that's needed is a sustainable plan for the traffic of the future. >> in creating an environmentally friendly transport t system for the f fu, a lot will depend on the efficiency of local systems and how different types of transport interconnect.

that's when the team gets to work they call themselves the bike come to. company promises to return stolen bikes to their owners within two weeks or to replace them with new ones. in berlin decided to try out the new service paying an annual fee of eighty euros his bike was soon stolen and he tried to locate it himself with the help of the company's up. i registered the bike stolen early in the morning by the afternoon i had received a message from the manufacturer and one day my bike had been taken from germany all the way to ukraine. the hunters document their progress online and report what they find. tracking technology isn't exact to see the new they came close to the bike but failed to find it they inform the police of everything they knew. is not about catching individual thieves we don't want to play police we would like to see an organisation that would make it easier to solve cases of bicycle theft across europe or even around the world. police in the netherlands are currently experimenting with a similar system but of course they can't go chasin

the bike hunters document their progress online and report what they find the g.p.s. tracking technology isn't exact kuntar see the new became close to the bike but failed to find it they inform the police of everything they knew yaniv. for us is not about catching individual seems so we don't want to please police but we would like to see an organisation that would make it easier to solve cases of bicycle theft across europe or even around the world. police in the netherlands are currently experimenting with a similar system but of course they can't go chasing stolen bikes around the globe until that changes it pays to remember the better a bike is looked up the more likely it is that the thief will move on to an easier school or. now has a little history lesson for you when learning that the french presence in the eighteenth century had no bright queen mab when it famously said let them eat cake now there's no hard evidence that she really said that what is on this beach it is the lavish lifestyle she led with the french monaco and her jewelry just went up for aucti

they've removed their bike lockers and so we're looking to repurpose that to have bike and it's a much bigger area and it will be right adjacent to the newly proposed bike way so it will be larger and more documents and we're looking to see how motivate can access that station for their loading needs or valet needs and it's all happening underway. >> yeah. >> great, thank you. >> thank you, director borden. >> i want to thank the staff and the public commenters for how many years have i ridden my bike downtown and the sidewalk here y is there no so it's about time and i agree and i did want to hear some comments on whether you weighed the idea of some sort of enhanced protection for psyche lists through the intersections. i have i know the data better than i do but i premier most accidents occur at the intersection not along the street. so it seems like the intersection is the most important place to focus these kinds of improvements. >> yeah, and we are the fourth street intersection especially is where we are proposing to do some bike rain markings through that intersection. as you k

code on the bike to our lockers again using the app so far the response seems positive. and i don't believe this is good because it could motivate people to stop using private vehicles and become healthier by riding a bike. would be a good besides to car set the company offers the service on the island of bali a popular tourist destination it's teamed up with hotels and local stores to offer the service for seventy cents an hour bus it says locals make up its main target group. goal is to provide first and last mile transport and tourism use is only an additional benefit. but it's hoped the bikes will encourage people to use public transport by helping them move easily between their homes and the nearest bus or train stop. air quality analysts are also likely to welcome the new arrivals after all your car is among the top ten most polluted cities in the world. well i'm off to get my own bike and get out of here go home if you want more from us in the meantime do go ahead and check out our social media feeds or a website that stede all your dot com slash business you have

pedestrians, bikes? what is the last one? >> people, bikes, scooter? >> first is people. people travel on various form on the embarcadero. i do not want to put them in a category. we want to move everyone safely. there is interplay between the signal crossing and implementing to bikeway. there is synergy between those themes. >> you don't have a priority? i would hope there is a priority. >> safety is number one, we spent a lot of time figure you go out how to create dedicated space for each mode and that move is with the bike facilities along to embarcadero. that is the biggest challenge physically and engineering wise we need a physically protected bike way. >> so that is the priority protecting the bike lanes? >> the key part of the project. that when contribute to the other goals. i don't know if i should prioritize between safety of anyone traveling. all of the above would be my answer. i am not trying to be coy. >> art the same time i want to see your plan now that i have it i will drive to see how it goes and what i think is practical from my point of view. at the

one is we have a study already looking at biking health and the benefits of biking in the soma neighborhood. we have a lot of really good data about bike lanes. the very important piece of this study that i don't think we really articulate for you is one of the things that it did is it demonstrated that in three days, with just a few graduate students within an emeritus professor and some of our environment staff, we collected a ton of information about who is biking. it had not been done before in san francisco. it was low cost and it was fun. people had a really good time doing surveys and the people who were intercepted for the surveys , more people stopped and said that they would answer the question then said they would not. so what we have done with this study is demonstrated that yes, we can do this. we did it in a place where we could marry it with other information that we had and we can easily, easily go out and do this again. we can find graduate students, we can mobilize our own folks, which we brought with us because they speak other languages. we wanted to offer surveys in can

you can see the -- >> those are bike lanes, dedicated bike lanes, along avenue c. it's the same for california east. we're really imagining that people if they're going to the ci cityside neighborhood, the preferred route for me is that i would be want to be waterfront or away from the cars. so there are so many opportunities, you can be along the water, you can be along the side of the park in a dedicated facility, or you can be in the shared public way. i'm not very fast bicyclist, the last place would i go would be avenue c. there are some people that like to ride in bike lanes on the streets. there are many options for people to get to that neighborhood. >> president tsen: my second question has to do with the shared common street. it's a really great idea. you had to work really hard to get agencies to accept the idea that it would be a shared right-of-way. can you show us where that is? and i'm mentioning it, because the first affordable housing projects will be on that street. and the idea of the shared street is very much to have it be an active street. and

to our bike network.'m going to allow margaret to present this study in detail and wore available to answer questions after. >> hello and greetings to both commissions this evening. thank you so much for in inviting me back to talk about topic near or dear to my heart and one of vital importance to our city. which is how do we ensure that our transportation work is furthering our climate goals and how do we make sure that as we work on those goals, we're bringing everyone with us. >> so, as wendy said, we worked on this study. >> it came from c o 40 and we reached with a research team from uc berkley so if you are asking who was actually conducting the research it was a team of four led by a researcher professor meredith from uc berkley. we were involved in coordinating the research and helping it all move forward and a variety of community groups and binging it to you today. so, we started out knowing from a variety of work knowing that any given time about a third of the people who are biking in san fra

tailor elgren, member of the sf bike coalition. i'm in support of the improvements because it's a low cost, quick to implement and effective upgrades that will save lives of people that are traveling on foot and traveling in the green lane, as we're calling it, the bike lane. i want to say thanks for the great work on the rapid response to the howard and south innes crosswalk where i witnessed russell franklin's horrible tragic fatal collision with a car. there was some -- there could have been better work done that would -- with soft hit posts that could have -- for just $200 more capital cost that could have slowed down traffic. i cross that crosswalk several times a week. cars are still speeding by. vision is better, but if there's a slicollision there, it's like to be fatal. the collision site is in my neighborhood. i've talked to more than 200 individuals walking, driving, and -- and biking through that area. the majority of these 200 folks are black and brown or homeless, and these folks seem to be disproportionately impacted

phoenix bikes is the name of this group. they don't just t ch kids how to ride bikes. they teach kids everything about how a bike works, how to take one apart, how to build them. the kids are also building up homething within themselves in the process, and pix bikes is this week's harris's hero. >> the tinkering, the rotating. it's all in a day's work here at phoenix bikes in arlington, but you'd be surprised to learn the ranks of the mechanics here include more than adults. like 13-year-old caleb. >> after that we need to check the br >> and his 11-year-oldrother al legislati alex. >> it's kind of fun to see how it works, what it'i' doing whil m pedaling my feet. >> nots slippery, you're right. they're learning how to build bikes from the frame up. this free bike education program has been around since 2007. >> all the proceeds from the community bike shop, 100% go to fund the youth program. >> kids keepoming back because they're learning a real life skill that can change their lives. >> i have learned a whole lot about bikes in the two weeks that i've been here. i sp

and then the other is the bikes. i think having more of a citywide bike plan is really important. especially with our bike share program. now you don't have to worry about riding your bike and then figuring out where to lock it up and if it is there when you come back out. and then also with them offering electric bikes, a lot of people are able to ride bikes and not have to worry about the topography of the city and trying to get up a hill. so, i definitely think we should have a much more robust citywide plan and protected bike lanes. when you talk about the equity part of this study, how did you go about with the equity? what department did you talk to? what groups of people did you talk to when you studied the equity? thank you. >> so, i will preface my response by saying it was ten years ago and i wasn't here. so, i wasn't -- i wasn't rattle off a list of community groups that my predecessors talked to. i don't know whether tilly can. but i do know that they talked with a wide range of groups from across the city. some of the same groups that are still very involved now. obvi

this guy got himself the minimouse bike, kids version. they are 3putting them to the test. they have old school brakes. their balance is all off. >> the frame isn't particularly strong either. >> this is more dangerous for these guys than you think. >> you even try to hold on and not smash into the trees. >> you keep going and their confidence increases. >> we stuff on those bikes when we were kids. we came home with busted teeth and broken fingers. >> he already broke a tooth. >> then we get into the 360. >> oh, my god. >> these things, they keep on going. i was expecting the wheel to fall off. >> just like riding a bike. >> turn their little rampage line. a couple of wins. >> look at that. 360 tail whip. he survived. >> it is a big day for a little girl. and this mom has set it up perfectly. the heart-warming moment she reunites with dear old dad, next. >> and marbles moving through an impressive maze. find out the simple trick that is keeping things rolling. -trash can, turn on the tv. -my pleasure. -ice dispenser, find me a dog sitter. -okay. -and make ice. -pizza deliv

i aim to keep doing, keep writing mountain bikes until my bike breaks down or my body. [applause] account these friendships among the great blessings of my life. and i have painted quite a few of them. you may have heard that i took up painting a while back. i'm pleased to say that some of my paintings are on public display. if you happen to goad to an art museum where they are, just look for the sign that says gallery of the masters and go the other way. [laughter] the good news is that even my toughest critic says i'm kind of improving. [applause] you know, i think the turning point may have been when i began the painting's or my book, portraits of courage. the participants of our mountain bike rides and golf tournaments were known as team 43 and i wanted to capture at least something of their resilience and greatness of heart on canvas. painted 98 of these remarkable men and women. you heard from two of those subjects tonight. leslie zimmerman and michael rodriguez. i call him rod. when i painted leslie, i painted a compassionate woman who saw firsthand the horrors o

you've seen the bike shares. you've seen the bike lanes. well, now there's a plan for what could be a $300 million pedestrian and bike lane from treasure island to san francisco. that comes to about $100 million a mile. this is a boat load of money. >> it is a boat load of money. just getting to this point is close to $10 million. >> reporter: to serve how many people? >> that's a great question. >> reporter: transit officials estimate as many as 10,000 people a day could eventually use the bike lane including the 24,000 people who will likely live in the high rises going up on treasure island. >> the real game changer or potential game changer here is the advent of the electric assist bike which can get you moving at about 20 miles an hour. >> reporter: the idea is for the san francisco bike lane to hook up on the bike path already up and running on the eastern span of the bay bridge and thus create a bike route all the way across the bay. >> we now feel the bay bridge is at capacity. >> reporter: but the real political force behind this p

it looks like a pretty awesome place to be if you don't have a bike that is broken down.eep your eye on it right here. this guy. he has no other option. he's stranded with nowhere to go. tries to make his way across but suddenly -- >> oh! >> -- he was incredibly insane. now, to give you an idea of how close and how insane that was, there are multiple videos, watch from this angle. you see the same guy and how close he was to getting to safety, when suddenly, he gets slammed into by a rider. now, if you think all of that is nuts, let me show you what happened before all of this. because this is how the riders start. they're all penned in. off of their bikes, when they're given the go, the gates open, and they will run to the parking lot of motorcycles. if you don't remember where you left your bike, you're home. >> oh, my gosh, this is nuts. >> once you get to your bike, you got to get it fired up, and then you got to filter through all of the other guys. so you start filtering through. bikes are getting knocked down. now it's just elbow to elbow. it's incredibly ridiculou

to transport bicycles reinhold advices using special bike wraps inside or mounted on the roof the same goes for snowboards escapees they belong either in the roof box or secured in the trunk floor. this is by no says it's vital not to exceed the car's maximum weight rating they should be listed in the vehicles registration certificate then calculate the difference between the maximum weight and the curb weight the curb weight may include the driver but you'll have to add weight for other passengers and all of the cargo. and when fully loaded a car is bound to sink slightly due to the extra weight so reinhold reminds drivers to adjust the side mirrors and headlight height accordingly. checking the tire pressure is also a must but as we have a lot mantling braking distance and the time needed to overtake other vehicles all changed when a car's hauling a heavy load. so ryan hold advice is taking the car out for a spin in familiar terrain or an empty parking lot first to get used to the altered performance they have to be up. so i can attest he has two final tips to offer never leave valua

the demo christan points out that this model is the rarest dk debbie a bike of all only three hundred of them were built in one thousand nine hundred sure money was in the middle of the great depression and few people could afford luxuries like motorcycles a super sport six hundred cost about the same as a small car like the opel p four production of a six hundred was cancelled in one nine hundred thirty three after just three years christo says that's a real shame and i know a guy in my day. in one nine hundred thirty four d k w motorcycles started using reverse scavenging exhaust technology in all their engines this allowed better engine performance and improve fuel efficiency. christof says the d k w supersport six hundred is a bike for a real man big powerful and built like a tank if you took a machine like this on the road in the early one nine hundred thirty s. you were in for a real adventure and the six hundred engine served as the model for the one used in the first german passenger car with front wheel drive the d k w f one up until the one nine hundred fifty s. they hardly

to replace off-street car parking with bike parking. that is not part of the f.u.d. planning did go back to look at the r.h.1 and it's not to be used for living space which puts additional pressure on space for size and by removing the requirement the space that would have gone to parking can now be counted towards a living space. removing the requirement can actually take away unnecessary parking and allow the proj sponsor to build more usable living space without expanding the building envelope. we had the conversation with those who came and our office is also following up with supervisor ronan and they stated they'd be happy to work with the residents on control if they need to be modified. we know monster home say -- is a concern and they're looking to build as many housing units as possible and not just the largest homes possible. our office and the planning department did reach out to every single neighborhood and association and merchant association we were given and sometimes supervisors don't respond to us and i'm not sure what to do when that happens we ca
