I saw a story about a stolen CHP cruiser, and I always wonder about why the police departments spec their vehicles with keyless fobs. The cop can clip it to his belt. When he is out of range, engine cuts off. When he back in range, engine starts. Is it a cost/retrofit issue? Or some...

I've noticed that I don't consciously countersteer when I ride, and after a chat with a long time rider who recently took a beginner course and recognized the value of countersteering, I decided to consciously push on the bars. I can't tell if I'm much faster in the turns, but I feel like that...

I saw this vid posted several times on local FB group. I didn't see one useful comment about this rider's behavior, who wants this driver doxxed. https://www.facebook.com/aldwin.acebedo/posts/1861051693947294

I saw a thread yesterday about a moto which was parked illegally in SF and was about to be towed. One poster mentioned once when bystanders actually picked up a bike and placed it in the sidewalk to prevent towing. I was wondering, which is legally worse, parking illegally on the street vs...

I like this one: parking in a bus stop (the No Parking sign doesn't apply here but it is a funny coincidence), while there is a legal spot 10 feet away.

I was listening to KTVU, and Sal Castaneda mentioned moto crashes on every bridge this morning, plus a few others on local highways! Please be careful out there! Do you think the cause was families going back to school? The earlier dawn? Squids emerging from their winter lairs?

I was up there on my bicycle when the fatal accident occurred. RIP Gerald. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-police-identify-motorcyclist-killed-in-12534116.php

On Monday, I saw several riders wearing half shell helmets with bandanas covering their faces. After 5 days of chilly weather, looks like they all dropped off the road or switched to a full face. Still surprised they forgot what it is like to ride in the cold.

I noticed this morning how many riders were in jeans. It was light rain and most of the day was dry. But not only jeans are useless to stop moisture, cotton will be like wearing chillers on your legs. Now that is pouring rain until tomorrow, I wonder if we will see the same riders out...

I was riding through Fremont on 880 South this morning, and I saw 2 riders on the shoulder with a car. One rider looked ok, but the other was on the ground clutching his ankle. I could only take a glance but I'm figuring he didn't have boots on. I think I saw a white socked foot. I'm amazed...

Early morning, I watched on KTVU a tractor trailer that just flipped over in Berkeley. It looked bad but at least some of the lanes were open. But just now this happened. http://www.ktvu.com/news/interstate-highway-80-shut-down-in-pursuit-of-armed-and-dangerous-suspect Chase for Fairfield...
