December 9, 2008<\/p>\n

Fog City Journal attended the 10,000-members strong San Francisco Bicycle Coalition<\/a>‘s 2008 Winterfest<\/a> Sunday night at SOMArts and walked right into Rob Anderson’s<\/a> ninth circle of hell. Even though Anderson’s been invited by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi to Winterfest three years in a row, Anderson refuses to show up.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0
\nA fedora-wearing Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi disappears into the night,
\ndisappointed after being stood up by Rob Anderson. Again.<\/p>\n

Of course, yours truly felt like a bit of an impostor in a sea of over 1,000 bicyclists because I haven’t ridden a bike since I was twelve. (I’m pretty sure that bike is still in my parents’ garage in Daly City.)<\/p>\n


\nThe SF Bicycle Coalition is the largest bicycle advocacy organization in the US.<\/p>\n


\nThe packed crowd at SOMArts.<\/p>\n

I made the mistake of admitting this recently in front of a group of SFBC members, including Executive Director Leah Shahum, while they were giving Walk & Bike for Life<\/a> Executive Director Gil Pe\u00c3\u00b1alosa a bike tour of San Francisco in November. FCJ ran into their crew while filming Supervisor Chris Daly’s video about that old dude nobody’s heard of<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it went down:<\/p>\n

Luke:<\/strong> “Elaine, get in the picture!”<\/p>\n

Happy Bike People:<\/strong> “Yeah, get in the picture, Elaine!”<\/p>\n

Elaine:<\/strong> “Um, I don’t ride a bike.”<\/p>\n

Luke:<\/strong> “You went to Winterfest last year<\/a> . . .”<\/p>\n

Elaine:<\/strong> “But I haven’t ridden a bike since the nineties.”<\/p>\n


\nWalk & Bike for Life Executive Director Gil Pe\u00c3\u00b1alosa, Supervisor Chris Daly,
\nSFBC Executive Director Leah Shahum, SFBC Program Director Andy Thornley
\nand Livable City Board President Cheryl Brinkman.<\/p>\n

So I guess Mr. Anderson and I have something in common because neither one of us owns a bicycle. Maybe if he stopped hating and started emulating, he wouldn’t be so angry<\/a>. This is the second Winterfest I’ve attended and everybody there looks so happy that I’m skeptical that these folks actually live in San Francisco.<\/p>\n


\nBicycles up for auction.<\/p>\n


\nThese boots were made for biking . . . and handing out raffle tickets.<\/p>\n

The Bicycle Coalition auctioned off art, crafts, bicycles and prizes donated by sponsors<\/a> such as Rickshaw Bagworks, Valencia Cyclery, New Belgium and Schwinn.<\/p>\n


\nSFBC Program Director Andy Thornley and Gary Fisher open the live auction.<\/p>\n

\nXtracycle Radish by Rickshaw Bagworks.<\/p>\n


\nOne of the auction items was a sailboat ride
\nwith SFBC Executive Director Leah Shahum and Ted Strawser.<\/p>\n

Aside from Mirkarimi, Supervisor-elect Eric Mar, Board of Education member Jane Kim, Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting, BART Director Tom Radulovich and newly-elected City College Board member Chris Jackson also attended.<\/p>\n

Among the artwork up for auction was a painting of Frank Chu by Hugo Kobayashi. Every time I run into Frank, he’s always asking me if there are any events going on in town and I always tell him where FCJ’s going because a party without Frank Chu is like The West Wing<\/em> without Aaron Sorkin, aka just wrong.<\/p>\n


\nArtist Hugo Kobayashi next to his portrait of Frank Chu.<\/p>\n


\nFrank Chu stands next to his portrait.<\/p>\n


\nElaine Santore and Frank Chu. Elaine tries to sport at least two things
\nwhite people like<\/a> at all times. This time, it was a scarf<\/a> and bangs<\/a>.
\nThe close proximity to bicycles<\/a> bumps Elaine up to three.<\/p>\n

Of course, I was immediately drawn to the crafts table, marveling at all the shiny things for sale. I even contemplated buying one of the cute homemade aprons, but nixed the idea after realizing that wearing an apron might give my plus-one the false impression that I would actually bake something. It’s a slippery slope.<\/p>\n


\nThe crafts table.<\/p>\n


\nThe SF Bike Quilt<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Leah Shahum and the SFBC for another successful event. Maybe by next year I’ll actually be riding a bike. Anything can happen in 2009!<\/p>\n
