Today, I was star-stucked. I saw Gary Fisher on the same street+ bike lane as me.
He looked marvelous, and was on his way (or from) the opening of a bike sharing program, here in San Francisco.

"They're super easy to ride, but they don't want to be on hills. And they're not going to be fast," said Gary Fisher, one of the inventors of modern mountain biking, who now runs a bike design company and built the tricycles being offered by Bike and Roll. "But if I'm going to the grocery store I don't have to edit my purchases. I can buy anything I want and it all fits on the bike."
The main Bike and Roll program costs $25 a month for individuals and $35 month for families, and allows members to borrow a tricycle or children's learner bike for up to an hour and 15 minutes. Members also can borrow a bike trailer along with a helmet and bike lock. From now until Christmas Day, the store is offering free monthlong membership in the tricycle-sharing program.
