We hope you enjoyed yesterday’s Bike to Work Day as much as we did. Per the annual tradition, we were once again joined by supervisors, our partner agencies and the SF Bicycle Coalition in rides from around the city which convened in front of City Hall.

Today, we thought we’d share some beautiful shots from the event taken by our agency’s photographer, Jeremy Menzies.

After a nice ride, who doesn’t smile this much?

A crowd of people with bikes fills the sidewalk in front of City Hall, surrounding a tent sporting the logo of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.

Hope you stopped by an “energizer station” in time to get this year’s Bike to Work Day tote bag.
