In the meantime, the Muni has a route from CalTrans Terminal in SF to Treasure Island. Take you bike to TI and ride your bike. It is beautiful and has gorgeous views of SF and the East Bay (yes, Alameda County). By the way, the Island is flat and therefore very user friendly for the casual bike rider.
So yeah, lately I've been into biking. In the past week or so, I've probably biked 25 miles. I've gone into the next town and am getting quite comfortable riding around town.
The problem is that drivers are major assholes. I was almost runover once, I was run off the road once (same day), and cars have passed me illegally on double yellows.
I stick to sidewalks and any paths I can find, but some areas don't have them, which pisses me off. Nonetheless, it is much fun.
anyway as a amateur enthusiast (I guess) of biking, I would support this. This country is so biased in favor of cars, it is sickening. We need more rail roads and more bike paths.
Personally, I'd like to see every interstate replaced with a two line railroad at least, maybe one if that's all they need b/c some rural areas won't get many trains. I can guarantee a substantial increase in GDP thanks to the increased efficiency.

Long hair is awesome. Don't ever cut it.
