SF wants to be bike-friendly. Its streets say otherwise

A scooter rider in San Francisco is killed on Market Street. A CEO loses his teeth in a bike crash on Arguello. And buried in a 130-year-old newspaper clipping is proof that SF has been failing its cyclists since 1894.

On this episode of PST, host Emily Dreyfuss sits down with two people living San Francisco's bike-vs-car divide from opposite sides. First, Standard reporter Garrett Leahy breaks down his investigation into the “slot" – the notorious rail gap on Market Street that's been throwing cyclists since the cable car era – and the wildly divisive reader reaction to his story. Then, SF Standard CEO Griffin Gaffney gets brutally honest about the moment a pickup truck drifted into his bike lane, the surgery that followed, and why he refuses to pick a side in the culture war between cyclists and drivers.
