It was hard work but it was fun, and worth it even though I don't appear in any of the photographs.

002 - Sunday Streets

Day 002


Sunday StreetsWhat is Sunday Streets?

Sunday Streets is a series of events put on by the City of San Francisco to encourage health, community and fun, inspired by similar events in cities throughout the world. A Sunday Streets event creates a large, temporary, public space by closing off stretches of a neighborhood’s streets to automobile traffic, and opening them to pedestrians, bicyclists, and activities for several hours on a predetermined Sunday.

Where did the idea for Sunday Streets come from?

Sunday Streets originated in Bogota, Columbia as CiclovĂ­a, a day to promote free, health and community oriented events. 30 years after the first program, the concept has spread around the world from Tokyo, Japan to Kiev, Ukraine. Now, it has come to San Francisco!

How can you not like Sunday Streets? Craziness plus bikes.

I probably, in fact almost certainly, do not have the local and recent knowledge to interpret the results, and I certainly do not possess the foresight to make a prediction. But ...

That's some mighty fine electioning Alec.

I've been avoiding it to some extent, but I think its going to turn out to be a pretty exciting.
