vamos al parque

A couple Giants fans en bici! They asked me the way to bike parking, so I gather it was their inaugural ride to the game! I hope to run into these two zealots of the Orange & Black again at a game soon.

And man, my boys need some help... still a lot of baseball left. #notpanicking

Together We're Giant! Together We're Champs!

The San Francisco Giants sweep the Detroit Tigers to win the World Series in 2012. Can't wait for the Homecoming Parade on Wednesday! It's going to be an orange and black Halloween!

Go Giants! All The Way!

The team that won't quit cuz the fans don't quit either!

My bikey pals park my bike - Thanks!



I hope this Giants fairy brings us more good luck!



Some more awesome fans...









at the best ballpark in the country!









Go Giants! We want to welcome you home with a big parade!

Let's Go Giants!

My bike is how I'm getting to the game tonight! Look for me and my dad on TV in Section 104, catching foul balls and cheering on the BEST TEAM IN THE MLB! Orange and Black all the way!



Go Giants!

Let's Go Giants!

It's September Inside, and the Giants, believe it or not, are STILL in first place in the division. This weekend they take on their rivals, the Dodgers, so Robin and I would like to wish them the best of luck!



Robin, the sexiest Giants fan by far, is now the proud owner of the sexiest bike.



Para los Gigantes con amor...



VAMOSSSSSSS!!!!!!

[BEAT LA!]

so long and thanks for all the good times... for now

I went to my last Giants game of the season on Monday night. Parked my bike at the valet bike parking for the last time in 2011.


Liam and I ran into a bunch of Germans while getting beers.


Giants were winning, so I was in an especially good mood.


So were my pals, Adrienne & George...


& Laura.


It's always a party when you have record-breaking attendance.

My sister-in-law, a Red Sox fan said to me last night, "Red Sox Nation hate the Yankees more than they love the Red Sox." I told her that one of these days she needed to feel the Giants love!

Then this morning, my dad sent me a message. He went to the last game of the season yesterday, as the Giants waved goodbye to a few players, who might have just played their last game.

This is how Giants fans say goodbye:

"Big ovation for Pat Burrell yesterday when Bochy took him out, applause all the way to the dugout. He disappeared into the team, but the ovation got louder and he came back out for a curtain call and tipped his hat. At this point it got really loud. He stood there for a moment to this standing ovation, then bowed his head and headed to the clubhouse. It was pure love. I think it got to him."

Ta-ta for now, Gigantes! Until March...

c u @ the game

Behold proper cell phone use while biking.

Having been a victim of someone else's poor biking manners lately (knocked over by a gal with headphones on who had no idea I was next to her), I highly suggest not multi-tasking while biking. If you need to make a call, send a message, update your status or tweet, you'd best dismount and walk it.

Win or Lose - Together We're Giant

Even though our team has been wrought with injury and disappointment this entire season and brought the Torture to a whole new inconceivable level, the Giants are still our team, and we're riding with them to the very end, wherever it leads us.


What I love about this team and our ballpark is that a whole baseball culture has come about in San Francisco, especially along the Embarcadero before a home game.

You can hop on a pedicab and get a free ride to the park.


Or meet up with friends at the bike valet on McCovey Cove.


Once inside the park, there ain't a bad seat in the house.


And while watching our national pastime, you create memories with friends old and new.




Oh yeah, and our pitching is pretty awesome.


Winning or losing, I will almost never say no to a ballgame and the entire experience the evening brings.




What a long strange trip baseball season is.

The bikes and baseball babes go to the ballpark!


KT, Adrienne, Robin & Erin (featuring Buster Posey - Dreamcatcher).

(If you were at the game on 6/5, you might have caught us during the sing-along on the big screen!)

We love our team! Black and Orange all the way!!!

in training

When he matures, and can bike in the big leagues, he'll be ready to check his bike in at the Bike Valet. In the meantime, Go Giants!

The Freak and The Machine

Le Freak, c'est chic!


Welcome to the Machine!


Delicious.

They're baaaaack

Los Gigantes, I mean. And along with the awesome team come the awesome FANS, who gather pre and post game to drop off their bikes at our very own Bike Valet at the ballpark, decked out in Giants regalia (yes, we are the reigning Kings of the Major Leagues).


F*ck Yeah!


The beard is here.


Our East Bay cousins roll in.


Baseball is all smiles and happiness.


Beard-o-rific.


Biking to the ballpark is the way to go. You'll even burn off the beer and hot dog you consume on the way home.


We love our team! Go GIANTS!


I met Rai-Sue after the game. She spotted me because of my bike.


The valet closes 30 minutes after the game, so make sure not to linger too long.
