It is so beautiful here I wanted to share photo

[Fixed]

Life is beautiful in it's perfection all around us San Francisco is the most beautiful city I have ever been to

[jmoore]

OMG!

San Francisco has been inverted!

[tiretrax]

I always thought it was upside down. That explains Robin Williams.

[DRZRM]

Nice seat Butch. Glad to see it getting used.

[ultraman6970]

That picture was taken in china?

[Climb01742]

Many places on the west coast qualify as paradise and sf is sure on the list.

[DfCas]

The pic was not inverted on my phone. Strange.

[OtayBW]

Must be Down Under (I mean Over...).

[schneiderrd]

Actually the downtown area of the city stinks (like smells bad). The city is dirty and not really as nice as most European cities.

[Bostic]

The picture looks normal on an iPhone and on my computer if I right-click and view image in a new tab. Based on the road marking it looks like you are looking down on Lincoln Blvd though it could be El Camino Del Mar.

The first time I went to San Francisco I spent the drive to hotel marveling at how beautiful the area is. It's so lovely I wondered why everyone doesn't want to live there. Then I experienced my first SF rush-hour and realized everyone already did.

I am new in S.F. I live in PAC Heights and walk most everywhere I go except for my morning ride that is very safe with protected bike lanes ,in ten minutes you go from city to country it is phenomenal riding here.
over the bridge and it is another world .
Rob hill I do a loop there that includes a series of off road trails my ride today was 50/50 road and off road (gravel ,dirt )
We all live in beauty , if we take the time to notice it .
Cheers :)

Fixed, I'm happy to see you enjoying yourself. :beer:

For those not on a phone....

[Netdewt]

Jealous... I just shoveled snow for 2 hours.

[bobswire]

The Great Hwy was shut down today for cars to clear off the sand that was starting to build up. Perfect riding weather, sunny in the 50's slight breeze.

I converted one of my Merckx to flat bar urban roadster.

Surfs Up! I don't know how those guys deal with the cold ocean. There were surfers all up and down the coast today.

Neat. What pedals and shoes do you use when riding it?

[Elefantino]

My side of the Bay is nice, too.

nice, they have wetsuits! were you able to get more info on what Len is doing at the Nook?

[bobswire]

Neat. What pedals and shoes do you use when riding it? Shimano SPD and Shimano spd shoes for easy walking.

Yes, he'll be closing shop come January, selling his inventory to another shop. Sad but that's what the realty market has done to the city once your lease expires. Times have changed and there are dozens of shops through out the city and I don't think he wants to spend the energy required at this point of his life. I'll be selling some of his vintage stuff via Ebay for him.

I don't know what you guys are talking about ... it looks fine to me from here!

[fuzzalow]

I dunno, I envy the riding environ you Bay Area inhabitants are blessed with. "blistering cold" for you lucky blokes might be descriptive of temps in the mid-30F's.

But don't mind me 'cos I'm just a crybaby when the weather turns cold. What a downstate NYer thinks is cold (mid teens and above) is not worthy of a scoff in places where winter has real meaning.

Too bad, one of the 'old school' shops, owners who sees that's it's 'just too hard'. I completely understand..I was lucky enough to sell but a 'few' times from 2010-2011-2012, I seriously considered just liquidating and leaving.

[sales guy]

Definitely closer to paradise for me. For sure when I was there.

Fast wheels with fenders. love it:p

[sales guy]

Throw in one of these and I'm in heaven like Paul Walker-figureatively speaking of course.

Oh, and the smoking hot blonde in the upper left corner. Have pictures of her too.

God this was an amazing drive.

[Steve in SLO]

We visited this past weekend, and the weather was exquisite. We stayed in Union Square, and Black Friday is quite the experience there.

On Black Friday I was sequestered in a bunker. O.K. I lied I was riding a bike far from the maddening crowd.

[bcm119]

Glad to see you are riding, Fixed. SF is indeed a beautiful place to ride a bike. Lots of nice roads to explore over here in the east bay too-- just take the Bart over to Rockridge and head up into the hills.

[Gummee]

I lived in Morgan Hill for a bit. Liked everything about the area *except* the City itself.

...but I'm glad you're having fun.

[cnighbor1]

Just wondering !!

San Francisco...a world-class city for sure. Jeff N.

While the air temperature has been freezing recently, the ocean temperature does not drop as dramatically...I'm sure it's down a few degrees, but it's likely that it's warmer than the air temp currently. Water has a fairly high specific heat capacity and the ocean is very big, a little cold air is not going to change the water temp much.

its going to be a very sad day when Len is not around to work his magic on wheels!
