San Francisco bike culture matures as bike plan is adopted
After nearly three years of stalemate due to a court injunction, the San Francisco Bicycle Plan has its environmental impact report unanimously certified by the Planning Department and is adopted by the Municipal Transportation Agency.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition turned out over two hundred supporters for the MTA meeting to speak in favor of the plan.

Interspersed in this informal discussion are audio clips from the meeting.
