Faces of Slow Lake Street: JOHN LARKIN AND HENRY HEAD

JOHN: “I just moved here about a month ago and I’m coming from Cincinnati which wasn’t that bike accessible, and Chicago before that so I think it’s just been awesome. It’s an easy way to check out the city, explore a bit and just have a good time with friends.

Often I’ll bike to go get coffee with friends and I basically take it the whole way down and then jump into the park. I feel pretty safe on it. It’s a good street. I love everyone out walking the dogs and hanging out. It helps to build the community as well.”

HENRY: “I’ve lived in the City for a couple of years now and have biked everywhere. I have a car also but we live in the Presidio and I feel like Lake Street gives us safe passage on bikes all over the city. You can cut over to Golden Gate, you can get to the Marina safely. It lets us use our car a little bit less too. We go get groceries on our bike because it’s safe and easy to do so. It’s just fun to ride around on a nice day like this.”
