San Francisco Bicycle Stop Light

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

On an intersection between Fell St. and Masonic Ave in the bay area, you will for the first time see a San Francisco Bicycle Stop Light. Costing almost $100,00, the bicycle traffic light is the first of its kind, and offers bicyclists and drivers a level of safety on an extremely busy intersection. The San Francisco Bike Coalition has been pushing this idea for some time and the town has recently given it the green light. However, it is now up to the bicyclist to ignore the sign and brave the road even if they have a red light, which begs the question if they will be given a ticket for crossing when they shouldn’t. The idea behind a bicycle stop light is good in theory but many towns are waiting to see the results before they invest tax payers money into such a device. Keep in mind that a bike green and red light is a level of safety for all on the road, but it is still against the law to ride without a helmet. If you are looking to purchase a sleek design or maybe even some new wheels, there are many online sites with great offers.

It may seem like fall weather is here, but when you start to hit that 5th mile jogging, it feels just as hot as mid summer. If you are an avid runner or someone who is highly active, you are going to need a piece of performance apparel that will keep your body’s temperature regulated regardless of a hot or cold day. The North Face Reckoning Long Sleeve T-shirt is specifically designed to maintain a comfortable core temperature, while allowing you freedom of mobility and chafe prevention. Accomplished by a bamboo charcoal and polymer blend, the fibers used to create the North Face Reckoning are of an increased surface area that makes a lighter overall fabric. It also has flat locked seams (to reduce rubbing), UV protection for those sunny day jogs, and the ability to easily wick away moisture/odor. Available in 4 colors, North Face has included reflective graphics and logos on the upper biceps to make you easily visible to drivers at night. Overall the North Face Reckoning series are great pieces of performance apparel that will keep you comfortable and dry regardless of the season.
