"You’ll never catch him."

Mark the date; Ballard speaks the truth!

If we were serious about advancing bike policy, we would not have deferred implementing the 1997 bike network until 2010.

An average of like 4 bike lanes per year over that time is nothing to be proud of and is an indicator that San Francisco is lagging behind other cities.

There still are no open, democratic processes underway to propose the next innovative bicycle policy framework. Perhaps City staff and the SFBC leaders will bestow something upon us at some point?

SF is serious about their bikes!This is a good thing and it is my hope the whole country can get as serious.

As a matter of fact, I did ask him about your contest. To which his spokesperson Nathan Ballard responded: “You’ll never catch him.” And Newsom: “I was on Muni two days ago. That was a pretty easy win.” He was referring, of course, to the cable car press event, which doesn’t count.

Did Gavin say whether or not he would also ride Muni more as well? We're still itching to give away a free fast pass to the first person who captures an authentic, original photo of Gavin on a Muni vehicle (except cable cars). Our offer still stands, even with the looming fare increase! Also, we'll soon be announcing another opportunity to win a free prize, courtesy of Where's Gavin. Please stay tuned!
