	Sports & Recreation My Dutch Bike Transportation That’s a Real Treat By Michelle Sieling (Jul 24, 2009) Bike trends tend to come and go. One year it’s a hybrid bike, next year it’s a fixie.

Often discounted for their heavy frames, these practical and reliable bikes move many of the residents of the Dutch capital from point A to point B daily without a lot of fuss. Bikes are used there by everyone for everything, in any type of weather, in any type of clothing. More

Though many have started skating hoping to achieve fame and fortune, there are still people in it for the unadulterated love of skateboarding. Local company YOURSeLF Skateboarding Co. was created for the latter. More

	Sports & Recreation Activate Your Weekend Nighttime Fun for Active Teen By SFS Staff (Jun 11, 2007) These articles are a mix of teen-friendly venues and events. They were written to fill in the lack of all ages venues and clubs listings in the media. Because there are not enough places for teens to hang out, they often end up at their friends’ houses or doing things their parent’s would not approve of.

	Sports & Recreation The North Face Putting your best face outdoors By Michelle Sieling (Jun 30, 2006) Most of us city dwellers like to escape the noise and the pollution of urban living from time to time. For those of us who don’t want to fork over the money to spend the weekend at a B&B in Mendocino, we can take advantage of the hundreds of state, county and national parks throughout California. For this reason, you’d think that we’d have quite a few places in San Francisco to buy gear so that we could spend the night under the stars, but that isn’t the case. For some odd reason, it seems like every camping supply store is either in Berkeley or the South Bay. More
