So, really, slow WAY the hell down. and wear a helmet.
Those trolly tracks are all over San Francisco, and scare the **** out of me. I know a ton of people who have had close calls on them, and one woman who cracked her hip. I've had two nasty spills in the last 6 months, I've finally learned my lesson and wear a helmet now.
