SFBC Gas Free Fridays
"The SFBC wants to help more people substitute just one short car trip with a bicycle trip just one day a week. So, encourage a friend or coworker to pedal with you to an SFBC Energizer Station on Gas-Free Fridays and fuel up on coffee and snacks. In San Francisco, half of all driving trips are under two miles in length, a distance easily traveled by bicycle."
