San Francisco Mayor Mark Farrell rode a bike to city hall and emphasized the need to get cars off of the city's clogged streets. "As someone born and raised here, I have never seen our roads as congested as they are now. Everyone is frustrated by them, but our population is going to grow and as it does we need to get people out of their cars and into alternate modes of transportation," he said.
