A couple of days ago I joined Direction Action Everywhere for a protest outside a Chipotle Restaurant in Oakland. Chipotle spends millions to promote an image of caring about the animals they are killing. They are taking advantage of people’s sympathy toward animals by giving the impression that their products are humane. See this Salon article for more details.

You never know what’s on the other side of the (Dumbarton) bridge until you pedal across and find out.

After leaving WorldFest in Los Angeles, I decided to experience California’s central coast on the way to the Bay Area, instead of taking the interstate. Good choice. Santa Barbara, Morro Bay, Big Sur, and Monterey were all stunning beautiful. This picture is near San Simeon.

I finally scanned the pictures from my 1995 PAC tour ride. Over 60 of us rode over 2800 miles from San Diego to Charleston in 23 days – an average of 123 miles a day. My family, Doreen, and some friends at work came to see me and wish me well when we stopped in Florence Alabama.
The pictures are posted to my smugmug site and can be seen here.
This was a very enjoyable a demo of a working Babbage Difference Engine at the Computer History Museum at Mountain View.
After riding across the Golden Gate Bridge and back, I decided to pedal to Daly City to the bus terminal. My plan was to take the bus back to Foster City. I took a side route along the coastal “Great Highway”, where I sometimes had to walk the Brompton over the sand drifts. I came across Fort Funston and took a picture.
The wind was strong during the ride across. This photo was taken after I came back across. The Brompton foldable did just fine.
When biking around downtown, I saw the tip of the dome of the Palace of Fine Arts and decided to get a closer look.
