Skip to main content S.F. once hosted a bike tour on freeways and the Bay Bridge. Let s bring it back FacebookTwitterEmail It has been my dream, ever since I became a bicycle commuter. San Francisco’s freeways, tunnels and bridges are opened up for bikes. If only for a day, the city’s main arteries become a two-wheeled utopia. That describes the Great San Francisco Bike Adventure, an annual event from 1986 to 1995 where tens of thousands of bicyclists traveled the city on roadways usually reserved for fast-moving automobiles. Sections of Interstate 280 were opened up, along with spectacular rides across the top deck of the later-demolished Embarcadero Freeway. At one point, CalTrans allowed pedal-powered traffic on the western span of the Bay Bridge.

Most bicyclists making this trip used to be daredevils or people who really knew what they were doing. The dream of a city where 8- and 80-year-old cyclists could bisect the center with confidence seemed a hundred years away.

Bay Area game show contestants win $400,000 on The Chase

These Bay Area game show contestants defeated a Jeopardy! legend on The Chase FacebookTwitterEmail Karen Chu, Julio Trujillo, Alan Turner and The Chase host Sara Haines.Ron Batzdorff/ABC Two Bay Area locals experienced the thrill of a lifetime when they went up against one of Jeopardy!’s greatest champions in ABC’s game show “The Chase” on last Thursday’s episode. But at first, they didn’t even know that they had won. For Alan Turner of Rohnert Park and Karen Chu of Oakland, it was the culmination of a surreal experience. In fact, they had no idea what they were in for. Turner and Chu filmed their episode Nov. 13, and although the episode only aired last week, theirs was actually the first to be filmed for the season. So they didn’t know what this new iteration of the show would entail, although they had seen episodes of the Game Show Network version of the show.
