Cycle City

SF has a very close knit and proud cycling culture that I both adore and admire. But as a driver I naturally take issue with cyclists that want to use the roads, but not pay for them or follow their rules. Driving in SF is a never ending stress roller coaster, between the lost tourists, the buses, insane and double parked cabbies, delivery trucks, narrow and one way streets. We have cyclists cutting lanes, sitting in my blind spot using my car as a prop, going between cars, ignoring stop signs and light signals. It can put you over the edge on an off day. If I sound angry, I'm not. I am a little bitter but I understand their point of view, I just few more of them could take the time to understand mine. Then we could all hold hands and walk over the rainbow together.

Its been a long time since Ive been on a decent graffiti safari, I miss it.

Branded Proudly

I love art cars as much as the next person, but.
















As someone who shuns being branded in any form, I find this disturbing. I don't like most mainstream things because mainstream things are corporate things. I'm not a nutty anti-corporate hippie either. I do like corporations as a function of commerce, but when they seek to take over my allegiances, and enter my home life. I draw very thick line.

We see this car pretty often commuting with us to San Francisco on the 80 So fwy. I wonder what he does for a living. Probably not working for McDonald's; commuting almost 30 miles to San Francisco every day. But then I guess you never know with this economy.
