Bikepocalypse Now

Update: Victims of the Zeitgeist Bikepocalypse Can File Insurance Claims

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Following up on Saturday's accident at the Zeitgeist bike corral that saw 30+ rides wrecked, the SF Bike Coalition learns that victims can go to Mission Station to file an insurance claim:

The SF Bicycle Coalition has confirmed with the Mission Police Station that the driver of the vehicle did stop and provide their insurance information.  If your bicycle was one of the bikes damaged in the crash, go to the Mission Police Station and provide a description of your bike. You will receive a case number and details to file an insurance claim.

Now we get to wait and see if the city will bother to replace the month-old corral, or just chalk it up to bad planning.

Fellow UA author Erika is on the scene at Zeitgeist where a car just barreled through Zeitgeist's bike rack:

“A car just plowed through the bike rack at Zeitgeist and hit a person.  Bike parts everywhere.  At least everyone got drink tickets as emotional compensation.”

Upwards of 30 bikes were destroyed in the accident and the person is “okay” with a broken leg.
