Yesterday (9-8), at about 1:30pm, I was awaken from my midday nap by the sound of hundreds (maybe thousands?) of motorcycles. It’s the wrong time of year for the Dikes on Bikes. πŸ˜ƒ There was no mention of this parade on the evening news nor is there anything on any of the local news stations web sites. (So much for **local** news) Does anyone know WTF was going on?πŸ˜• **Thank You** πŸ™‚ ---

Sorry, saw no bikes in Sunset, nor when i took the N line or the 44 up to Green Apple Bookstore. Saw one of those little punks on the motorized scooters that are loud loud LOUD, i’m this close to packing a racketball to hurl at them! ---

It was strange. They came up Larkin, turn west onto Geary, then south on Van Ness. I’m assuming there was some sort of rally at City Hall, but \ πŸ˜•
