Like I said, there is NO safe biking route near my residence in SF, where I do not have to drive my bike to. I've driven these SF streets for many years in cars and motorcycles and I know how dangerous they could be on a bicycle. It's bad enough when I take my motorcycle to work once in a while and every day I do seems to be an excercise of just trying not to get killed by "cages" and their roadraging and (still, despite the new laws,) cell phoning drivers.
