It's good to know priorities are changing for a simple benefit.
I do hope this move will trickle down and around [the world] too.
Definitely applicable to the light/medium transit rails here and I don't see why not.
So who's to bring this up to the Minister of Transportation?

On a personal note, I don't mind living in SF. Not because of this train thing
[duh!??] but more of the creative buzz. Been scoping a lot on it... just thoughts.

The Bicycle
The Myth and The Passion

This handsomely illustrated volume traces the evolution of the bicycle and spotlights landmarks in its illustrious history. From the first sketches in the 1490s by a student of Leonardo da Vinci to the High Wheel Bicycles that had their heyday in the 1880s, hundreds of archival photographs and illustrations depict the features of these and other early ancestors of the modern bicycle, accompanying a text that vividly recreates the excitement of each new innovation. Documenting the advent of ball bearings and pneumatic tires, the development of high-tech racing bicycles and state-of-the-art all terrain bikes with waffle tread tires and heavier frames, The Bicycle examines the models and components that have been the fulfillment of the dreams of visionary inventors. Through an engaging text and vibrant graphics, readers will meet the key players in the world of cycling and gain a newfound appreciation for the colorful history of the bicycle.


The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles
Craftsmanship, Elegance, and Function

Featuring fifty classic models built by hand, this book unveils the bicycle’s technical evolution within a historical context.
