This week, get up to date on the city’s neighborhood plans, hear about the latest transit information for your cell phone, and find a Valentine who shares your love of bikes and chocolate. Here are the week’s highlights:

- Tuesday: SPUR Lunchtime Forum: Transit 2.0: A public and private perspective. Routesy’s Steven Peterson will join Todd Spiekerman and Carol Kuester, who manage 511.com, to discuss the hurdles and success stories of their interactive transit planning services. 12:30 p.m.
- Tuesday: SPUR Evening Symposium: Closing the Climate Gap: perspectives on environmental justice and the Bay Area’s future. Climate change could have a disproportionately severe effect on people of color and the poor.

- Wednesday: SPUR Lunchtime Forum: Plans for a New Public Realm: Improving our parks, streets and plazas.

Get an update from Planning on these projects. 12:30 p.m.
- Saturday: SFBC Monthly Good Road Ride: Potrero, Once Is Not Enough. Potrero bikers are especially encouraged to join and make your daily rides smoother and safer by identifying road hazards. First-timers from all over the city are always welcome. 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
- Sunday: Love of Chocolate Ride. Join SFBC member Robin and other cocoa-crazy cyclists for an afternoon of learning about, eating, and drinking chocolate, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Happy couples as well as those hoping to meet a new Valentine are welcome. 11:30 a.m.
