SICK AND TIRED OF BEGGING
DPT FOR BIKE LANES THAT
WILL NEVER MATERIALIZE?

Well, you don't have to. California Vehicle Code
already allows cyclists to take the lane under certain
conditions, like riding in a lane of substandard width
-- a classification that applies to most streets in San
Francisco. Just ask Chief Lau:

"In this instance, the bicycle owns the lane and a vehicle
must change lanes in order to pass. A bicycle is not
impeding the flow of traffic under these conditions."

Department Bulletin 98-73, 2/28/98

TAKE THE LANE!
