Have you seen Lebron James on a Cannondale? It’s not pretty.
So, to solve that kind of problem, here comes The DirtySixer MTB with 36 inch tires.
There it is, parked at Erin Sherbert’s favorite bike rack - it’s next to the very same rack but look how different the bikes’ tires are:

Looking at this thing freaked, me, out.
Now myself, I’m 6 foot 1 and a ton of fun so you’d figure one of these rigs would be great for me. But no, I’m not even close to qualifying for the DirtySixer club. You gotta be like 6 foot 5 or taller to fit proper.
Perhaps District Eight Supervisor Scott Wiener could use one of these rides for Bike To Work Day 2013 tomorrow? Why not?
Oh, the expense, what must be the crushing expense. I can only imagine what the MSRP is. That’s real titanium for the frame, BTW.
Now myself, I’ll have to make do with the MTBs sold for $200-something at the Marin Bikes Warehouse at 7th and Folsom in SoMA. (Fulton Street in 1st gear: Fuck, why can’t 1st gear be lower? Broadway Tunnel eastbound (scary scary): Fuck, why can’t 21st gear be higher? It’s like I’m being punished by Shimano for not spending enough or something.)
Anyway, contact Dave French if you’re interested.
All the deets.

Don’t forget to supersize it.
Looks cold up there, huh?

This example here is from the place where McAllister meets Jones meets Market, in the corrupt Twitterloin / Tenderloin / Civic Center / Mid Market area.
President Chiu stopped his Public Bike because he had a red light – this intersection now has a three-way light sequence, what with the recent changes for the 5 Fulton bus. (Note that this is the best place on the west coast to buy a stolen iPhone.)

A quick look up Jones (which is hardly ever busy) and he’s off:
Next stop, City Hall:
This is the proper technique of running a red light on a bicycle in San Francisco.
Strava fans should note that bikes in the 415 are for getting around, not for racing.
And bikes are especially not for going at or near 35 MPH at Castro and Market…

It’s so nice to encounter kids today re-embracing the true mohawk style of hair design.
You see, that David Beckham with his fauxhawk copout has led some people astray. (Imagine attempting to get a mohawk look without the necessary backcombing and head shaving! Mr. Beckham really has some nerve coopting legitimate punk style.)
Three cheers for the real deal, as seen at the 2008 Haight Street Fair:

[UPDATE: Further details here. Did John Avalos sign a Run Ed Run petition?]
This was the scene today at the brand new John Avalos for Mayor of San Francisco campaign headquarters down at 1750 Market near Octavia.
See? Some Run Ed Run people working Market Street asked the John Avalos for Mayor people for permission to put a Run Ed Run sign up.
The misguided Ed Lee supporters saw the Avalos signs and figured, well, the owner of this business isn’t afraid to have political signs in the front window so there’s no harm in asking.
Dude in the middle just might be an Avalos-er, but the person on the left and the person on the right are oblivious Run Ed Runners just doing what the Powers That Be, what the Agents of Fortune told them to do*:
Click to expand
Is this yet another genius move from political genius David Ho, that political pal of Rose Pak?
Only Time Will Tell.
*”San Francisco business and development interests are pushing members of the Board of Supervisors to publicly endorse Mayor Ed Lee’s potential run for a full term in November…”

[UPDATE: And here's a late entry, from Bluoz: Upper Haight is for Lovers:

Things really didn’t get hopping until the fog went away in the afternoon, but the 2011 Haight Ashbury Street Fair went off without a hitch, with nary a peep from the notorious NIMBYs of the Western Addition.
(And oh, honorable mention goes to photographers Bob Horowitz (nice) and Dropatan (also nice).)
Let your freak flag fly, baby. From the Eastern Stage:
And here are some great shots.
First, from famous David Yu:
And here are a couple from Brian Brooks:
And here’s one from Chris Witte:
And more from past HASFs, after the jump
See you next year!

Here you go. He was heading from City Hall to District 3 yesterday AM.

He certainly doesn’t need that Trek electric bike as he typically moves along at a good clip without assistance.

It’s happening, man. It’s finally happening, man!

Crosby and Nash are returning to the play the 415 at our Warfield Theatre:
“David Crosby and Graham Nash to Tour as Crosby/Nash This Spring 1971 LIVE SET ‘ANOTHER STONEY EVENING’ OUT IN MARCH ON THE DUO’S NEW LABEL BLUE CASTLE RECORDS”
All the deets, below.
“LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2011– Singer-songwriters David Crosby and Graham Nash will launch a spring tour in the U.S. with a March 25 show in Long Beach, CA. While Crosby and Nash’s legendary vocal harmonies will be the centerpiece of the show, they will be accompanied on the road by an ace-backing band featuring James Raymond (keyboards), Dean Parks (guitar), Kevin McCormick (bass), and Steve DiStanislao (drums). The initial on-sale date for tickets is January 21.
The tour will mix acoustic and plugged-in performances. “Touring with a full band gives us the opportunity to do selections from our catalogue that Graham and I haven’t performed live together before,” says Crosby. “We will also be introducing some brand new songs we’ve written, that have never been heard onstage or on record.”
Crosby and Nash are also launching their own record label, Blue Castle Records, with the first-ever digital and vinyl editions of the live album Another Stoney Evening, recorded forty years ago, in 1971 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. The release date is set for March 22, and the album can be pre-ordered through their website www.crosbynash.com when tickets for the tour go on sale.
“This album represents the very beginning of our musical relationship as a duo,” says Nash. “Whatever David and I do well together, it’s wonderful that we’re still doing it well. For the upcoming tour, with a rock ‘n roll band, we’ve gotten fantastic advance response. It’s exciting to be bringing this great new show to people.”
David Crosby and Graham Nash have each been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice – once with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and a second time with the Byrds and the Hollies, respectively.
