I’m out here on market st., waiting for the night bus back to the east bay.

what comes along: a guy sitting on the seat of a bike, legs off the bike, with a girl hovering over the top tube and pushing the pedals.

This three-day exploration of food, farming and films aims to celebrate and challenge our ideas about the food system. You can attend just one film or buy a festival pass for all six festival passes are sold out. Held at the Roxie Theatre, the festival is co-sponsored by Three Squares and Bi-Rite Market. The opening celebration, Friday night at Four Barrel, features food by Delfina, Jardiniere and more.

laughingsquid: Back in 2012, San Francisco dance company ODC premiered “Transit,” choreographer KT Nelson’s transit-themed modern dance piece that featured bike sculptures by San Francisco artist Max Chen. Throughout the piece, the dancers interact with the sculptures, which range from a rideable park bench to a two person café table bicycle. A follow-up dance, “Transit: Next Stop” is part of the ongoing ODC/Dance Downtown performance series at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, through March 24, 2013. Chen talks about his artwork and his involvement in the “Transit” project in this interview with SF Appeal. two-person café table bicycle??!!

» Second BART Bike Pilot

jamisonwieser:

This week (March 18-22) BART is allowing bikes onboard trains during the normal verboten peak commute hours. It is the second BART bicycle pilot following several friday trials last fall.

“…since that time, a full slate of initiatives to improve BART’s ability to accommodate bikes has begun to be implemented. “For example, train car interiors are being reconfigured to create more space for everyone; a bike etiquette campaign is continuing and expanding; and efforts are underway to increase secure bike parking, to name just a few.”

There has been some criticism of BART allowing bikes onboard at all times given how packed the trains are already, but the best way to find out for sure would be to run a trial.

If this is does get deemed a bad idea there are still the lessons learned - like the bike etiquette campaign - that can make biking on BART better at any time.

The next steps depend upon the results of this trial.

new rule during this pilot week:

bikes will not be allowed on the first 3 cars of each train during commute hours (7am-9am and 4:30pm-6:30pm).

please take a minute to complete this survey on your experience on BART during this bike pilot week.

The big new Transbay Terminal set to open in 2017 may be shedding its all-glass skin. The idea is to wrap it in (supposedly) lacy aluminum instead, with a see-through pattern of cuts in the shiny metal. The change is partly for security reasons — no glass means no glass shards if something goes wrong — and partly to save an estimated $17 million… sfgate, 16.03.13, 15.03.13.
I like how in SF they try to make the parking garages look like buildings. it’s not as unpleasant to walk by as opposed to surface parking lots or typical parking garages. 11th/harrison. there’s another that’s even better that i passed by on Nob Hill, with stores on the first level, but I don’t remember the cross-streets. would be even better if those were solar panels on top.
