Bicycling in the Beast
Berkeley is definitely one of the best North American cities for bicycling, and its residents take advantage of this. Sometimes, though, folks get a little carried away.
The City of Berkeley has just launched its Walk Bikes on Sidewalks, Ride Bikes in Street program. The color poster is surprisingly tasteful for a work of civic graphic design.
Bicyclists should also visit the City's Bicycling page for more resources on getting around town utilizing gyroscopic forces.
(For what it's worth, I found out about the new Walk Bikes program thanks to my subscription to various City of Berkeley webpages. It's a service that keeps me up to date on all kinds of stuff. If you want to know what's happening in the city, check it out.)
While I'm at it, you should also check out the East Bay Bicycling Coalition. (Though you can ignore their mailing list unless you're a dyed-in-the-wool bicycle nut who thinks internal combustion is the work of pure unmitigated evil). And on that site, I'm a *big* fan of their East Bay bicycle maps.

as usual, the police are above the law.
