We’re thrilled to bring you 65 great pieces wonderfully curated by Victoria Heilweil and generously donated by local artists who are using their talents to bring better biking to San Francisco!

Winterfest Sponsor of the Week: Raise a glass with us Sunday to toast New Belgium Brewing for their year-round support of better biking in SF and around the country!
Help Light Up the NightThis Sunday marks the end of Daylight Savings time, and the subsequent launch of our annual Light Up the Night campaign. We’re proud to have once again partnered with the City to distribute front and rear bicycle lights to hundreds of people who are biking and night without them. And we need your help to make this year’s campaign a success! This is one of the most fun and rewarding volunteer opportunities of the year. In November and December, we’ll be hosting four pop-stations at secret locations across San Francisco. For more details and to sign up to volunteer, go to: sfbike.org/lights. One Victory for SoMa Streets!
The Folsom Pilot is a great victory, but much remains to be done, particularly on Division, Howard and 13th Street. Continue letting the Mayor and the Supervisors know that the inadequate and deadly infrastructure that plagues the streets in and around South of Market must be addressed immediately. If you wish to be involved with our Safer SoMa Member Committee, contact chema@sfbike.org. A Safer Potrero Under Threat: Take Action Despite another pedestrian tragically killed this week on Potrero Avenue, the City continues to back pedal on safety improvements to Potrero Avenue due to the pressure from an anti-pedestrian lobby. The City has announced an unprecedented fourth community Open House on November 7 from 6-8PM at the SF General Hospital Cafeteria, 1001 Potrero Avenue, 2nd Floor. We are calling on all our members to email the Mayor and Supervisors Campos and Cohen and let them know that Potrero needs to be safe for everyone. We also want as many neighbors to make it out to the community open house and speak up for a safer Potrero. Contact chema@sfbike.org if you want to get involved. Vote Today for Our Board of Directors

Motostrano is conveniently located at 1452 Bush, between Polk and Van Ness. Peruse their sleek new store and check out their line of Vanmoof bicycles (or bid on one in the bike auction at Winterfest!). Farmgirl Flowers is bucking the trend of imported flowers, lots of waste and a big carbon footprint by buying locally grown flowers and delivering your flowers via pedal power whenever possible in San Francisco.
