Is SF's Lyft Bike Subscription Worth It?

In July, my sister visited and asked me to show her some of my favorite things to do in San Francisco. We own a couple of bikes, so I suggested we ride bikes through Golden Gate Park to Ocean Beach. She said she didn’t have the energy for a regular bike, but would ride an e-bike. I knew there were some Lyft e-bikes in our neighborhood, but believe it or not, I’d never actually tried them out (or even ridden an e-bike of any kind before) since I already have my own bike.

San Jose Resolves 98% of Abandoned Car Cases, Yet Residents Say Streets Still Clogged

Roosevelt Park — Reported Neighborhood of Vehicle Complaints. San Jose’s Department of Transportation closed 98% of roughly 10,000 vehicle abatement cases within two weeks, according to the city Auditor’s Office. That measure tracks case resolution, not necessarily a vehicle’s permanent removal: a case can close after an owner moves a car, even if it later returns. Residents including Davide Vieira say the distinction matters on streets where inoperable and abandoned vehicles remain a recurring sight.
