I spy with my little eye...

I grabbed this pick from the Sartorialist. The chick is draped in a boring black dress and white converse, oh where could this be?? EUROPA, DUH! I am glad to inform you that fashion is fortunately NOT the topic of discussion here.

What seems unique about this photo? It's obviously not her outfit, so take a second and observe...

Anything?

Look at what she is leaning on, that's an MF'n bike parking spot. The photo was shot in Berlin, and as you can see, the whole side of the street is lined with bike racks. This is the 'go big or go home' kind of mentality that San Francisco has yet to embrace when it comes to alternative infrastructure supporting public transit and bicycles.

What if ALL of Divizadero was lined with bicycle racks instead of a little parklet? Same goes for Market street. As you can see, there are also no cars parked on that street. Come on SFBC, I'm dying for you to propose an outlandish request that the picture suggests above. This is why SF is at a tipping point with alt. infrastructure, because so many other cities have surpassed us.
