Comments on: Bike to Work Day Draws Record Crowds of Cyclists http://sf.streetsblog.org/2009/05/14/bike-to-work-day-draws-record-crowds-of-cyclists/ Covering San Francisco's livable streets movement Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:16:44 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: ZA http://sf.streetsblog.org/2009/05/14/bike-to-work-day-draws-record-crowds-of-cyclists/comment-page-1/#comment-5868 ZA Fri, 29 May 2009 19:54:59 +0000 http://sf.streetsblog.org/?p=2176#comment-5868 I suspect Bike to Work Day is scheduled on a Thursday in the Bay Area because of the numbers of workers who schedule a Friday off or half-day. A Thursday is then a better representation of typical work-day commuting (including mid-week childcare needs). I'm not one of those lucky few on yachts in the Bay on a sunny Friday afternoon.

Perhaps had we only celebrated Bike to Work Day on Friday all of these years, we might also now see transit first policies on our streets that benefit cyclists. -marc Other cities, many with markedly fewer resources than San Francisco, manage to make progress on implementing bicycle improvements.

The rest of the country does it tomorrow. Why does SF celebrate BTWD a day early? The rest of the country does it tomorrow.
