Now we're used to dodging helmet-less hipsters in the Mission, racing them to the power outlets in cafes, and even (admittedly) admiring their legging/ boot/ scarf getups from time to time. Yesterday, however, we came across a rare breed of hipster— a model for hipsterdom, even: one willing to place himself square in the middle of the 101 on-ramp at Octavia & Market while hoisting a sign bearing the slogan "Right Turns are Wrong." If the aforementioned scarf and jaunty umbrella are any indication, this gentleman protester (we mean it— he was nice), along with his (equally genteel) buddy, are members of the San Francisco Bike Coalition. What was the occasion for such tomfoolery, you ask? Last Monday, after a man was seriously plowed by a car making an illegal turn onto the 101 from Market Street, the Coalition called for an 8 a.m. rally in support of Assemblywoman Fiona Ma's AB23 bill.
