Our customary SF loop bike ride was unexpectedly interrupted yesterday shortly after reaching the beach and turning South.  We were initially confused about the road closure–wasn’t Sunday Streets happening all the way down on 3rd Street in the Dogpatch instead?

Well, it appears that the wind and dunes here at Ocean Beach got a little jealous and conspired to have their own anti-car event by blanketing the roadway with enough sand to obstruct traffic. Check out all that it took to shut down the Great Highway this Sunday after the jump.

Well, that’s rather disappointing, eh?  Looks like it doesn’t take much to stop automotive technology.  Maybe that’s why it’s not a good idea to invade desert nations.  I’m looking at you Soviet Union, Harkonnens, George Bush Junior, and Sardaukar.
