World's Best Bike Commute
An Exquisitely Common Ride


August 18, 2011

It was just another regular commute to San Francisco the other morning--spectacularly beautiful! The fog was blasting through the gate, the foghorns were wailing and I began to reminisce about the previous 52 WBBC entries. Why the nostalgia? Well, we’re putting this blog on the back burner for a while. Moving forward we are concentrating on the challenge before us as state parks begin to close.

The WBBC isn’t completely retiring. When amazing things happen during the bike commute, you’ll be reading about them right here. But, for now, keep on eye out for our new regular Thursday blog: CalPark Voices--Stories from California’s State Parks (premiering next week!).

As I rode off in to the fog and the sunset last night, I mused over the many memorable moments for the WBBC. There was the attack of the giant Dungeness crab on the Golden Gate Bridge…the Van Bo concert…and, of course, the day I set the land speed record for the WBBC. This and much more is captured here on the blog’s anniversary interview video from April.

So this is hasta luego, but not good-bye. Check in with CalPark Voices, and let us know how we are doing. And remember, everything is better on a bike.
