In 1989, a big earthquake collapsed a freeway overpass in San Francisco, and many years later, voters decided not to rebuild the freeway overpass and have a boulevard installed in its place. Although the Market/Octavia intersection turned into a
sometimes dangerous spot for cyclists, it's still nicer than riding in the shadow of a freeway. Here are a few cyclists taking a break at that very intersection.
One cyclist uses the red light to text a friend (maybe making happy hour plans):

And this guy can only be referred to as Michelin Man:

And here's a fashionable lady in a black mini, black tights and black boots waiting for the light to change at Market and Franklin:

Thanks to the
SFBC for trying to make Market/Octavia a safer intersection for us.
