The drink is called Mets and it’s made by KIRIN, and honestly, that’s all I can really tell from the video. It appears to get you out of tough situations — like jumping though a cable car — when you’re tearing up the streets of San Francisco on a bike.
Riding bikes. Slamming Mets. San Francisco.

I’ve been riding past these funky eyeball looking mobiles hanging from the phones lines along The Wiggle for the past month now, and just recently noticed a heart accompanying the “eyeballs” across Fell Street when you’re about to dump into The Panhandle.
Here’s a zoomed in view:
Props to whoever is making these and getting them up. For one thing, they don’t ever seem to be coming down and have already made it through the biggest storm of the year. Also, Fell Street is pretty much a highway (that desperately needs a separated bike lane) so it must have been late at night or a risky move to have gotten this mobile/art project up on those phone lines.
Put in a separated bike lane, because Fell Street Is For Lovers.
Update: The heart is part of an art project called “Love Aqui,” by Ana Rivero Rossi and Todd Hanson. Mission Local has more background on the now global art project in a story called Challenging an Urban Myth. Really cool stuff.
Thank you Jeremy!
It hasn’t rained in San Francisco in a long time. That’s bad if you’re a skier/snowboarder, but great if you commute to work on a bike everyday.
To a bike commuter (or maybe just myself), a weather forecast with rain in it means one thing – can I ride my bike, or do I have to take MUNI? Here’s how I see this week’s weather forecast in San Francisco.
Here’s a gif overlay of the actual weather. You got to take MUNI on those days, right?

Thinking about stealing a bike wheel in Hayes Valley? Be prepared to get called out on the sidewalk, Jerk!

Holy back pockets because my keys be rubbin’.
Urban Cyclist Problem(s) is new column we’re working on highlighting the big and not so big problems that urban cyclists have to deal with. In Ice Tubes fashion, we’ll try and keep these light and void of “here’s why cars suck” (although they do) comments.
Gotta be cool sharing the bike lane with a guy pushing 100 lbs of glass and aluminum uphill on the final climb before reaching the recycle center.
If you ride a bike in San Francisco you already know that the intersection of 10th and Market Street (Fox Plaza) is notoriously windy. With the weather forecast for the Bay Area calling for strong winds over the next few days, expect crazy gusts at this intersection and bike with caution.
Some dude was selling these stickers at Biketoberfest Marin. They’re a little over the top, but that’s still a pretty creative use of the chainring.
