Wearing a helmet is not the law. It’s optional. When I get hit by a car, I will continue to not wear a helmet. I’d rather take my 0.0001% chance. I’m sure this is exactly what you’d like to hear

Alright, some folks who know what they’re talking about and are very active in bike education: SFBC (http://www.sfbike.org/), the Bike Kitchen (http://www.bikekitchen.org/), Box Dog Bikes (http://www.boxdogbikes.com/), or the Bikery at City College every Tuesday (e-mail ghostsail@gmail.com). Otherwise, seems like Mission Mission readers are willing to provide some quality advice…

You can ride the wiggle into GGP and take 20th to Stonestown. It’s a hell of a hill on 20th, but it’ll get you to state pretty quick.

Or you can take 7th past Laguna Honda and down into West Portal, then ride that little side street next to Junipero Serra til Holloway, which will drop you right on the corner of campus.

Is there some way to bike to SF State that won’t kill me? I see scores of bikes on campus and can not figure how their riders got there.

I gotta agreee with the helmet thing. I just got hit by a car on my way to work – not seriously, but there wasn’t almost anything I could have done to avoid it. My helmet smacked the ground pretty hard but with the helmet I didn’t get so much as a headache afterwards. I don’t think I’ll ever ride without one again.

Seriously, why do you guys keep giving air time to the tripe that JWZ spewed as “bicycle wisdom”??? You really owe your readers a FPP with some advice and/or links thereto by somebodies who know WTF their talking about. I.e. NOT JWZ.
