San Francisco in December

San Francisco is awesome!  So awesome, that after my second visit there (first visit was to Makers Faire in May) I am contemplating my second home in the Bay Area.  I’ve been told I need a home base in both San Francisco and the East Bay (Oakland and Berkeley) if I’m going for a true Bay Area experience.  Thanks so much to Kate, Sean, Kristen, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and all of the wonderful new friends that I met on my trip.  You make it easy to want to come back!

In my four days in the Bay Area I visited friends at Xtracycle, B Spoke Tailor (Nan), Rock the Bike (Paul), made new friends at Rickshaw – the awesome new bag company, went to the Chrome party and of course, the main reason for my trip – Winterfest!  Congrats to the hard-working friendly folk at the SFBC for reaching a milestone of 10,000 members!

Here are some photos from my journey.

I’m really excited about issue #37 – Jan/ Feb set to hit the streets in the first week of January. If you’ve never seen Momentum in print, now’s the time.
