Give to Streetsblog SF and You Could Win a New Bike

2:09 PM PST on December 6, 2012

With the launch of Streetsblog's year-end online pledge drive comes an exciting opportunity to win a sweet new bike. Thanks to our friends at Bicycle Habitat, over in NYC, everyone who gives $50 or more online will be entered to win a new Specialized Sirrus or a Vita hybrid bike. If you win, you can choose which one of these beauties you want and we'll ship it to you:

Every donation will help Streetsblog SF produce reporting and commentary in support of streets that work for people, not cars. Our coverage helps more San Franciscans get engaged with livable streets issues and makes the case for safer, greener, and more affordable transportation options.

Streetsblog SF is here to hold officials accountable for decisions that affect our streets and transit system, and to highlight how the city can get things right. When the Board of Supervisors caves on sensible reforms for funding Muni, or the District Attorney makes a blatantly false claim blaming victims of traffic violence, we're there to spotlight it. And when the SFMTA rolls out infrastructure that makes it safer and easier to get around by biking or walking, we get the word out and show how better streets improve San Franciscans' quality of life.

In the year ahead, increasing numbers of San Franciscans will discover the benefits of protected bike lanes, and they'll want more. Some Muni lines will see improvements, but the pace of change has to be quicker to make a difference for most residents. The need for complete streets and effective transit will be as great as ever. We’ll be on a mission to ensure that people-first transportation policies keep moving forward, and we need your continued support to do it.

Your tax-deductible gift will help us:

    • Highlight new street designs and raise expectations for the SFMTA’s roll-out of protected bikeways, better Muni routes, and safer streets for walking.
    • Make the case for smart development that fulfills the promise of a transit-first city instead of dumping more cars on the streets.
    • Keep the pressure on SFPD and the DA’s office to get serious about traffic enforcement, crash investigations, and saving lives by deterring dangerous driving.

So far this fall Streetsblog has raised $35,000 from our annual benefit, and we’re counting on our readers to help us reach our fundraising goal of $60,000 for 2012.

Thank you to everyone who has helped keep us going. Please give to Streetsblog SF today and support journalism that makes our streets safer, greener, and more livable.
