Bikers enthusiasts around the country who still have a hard time getting city officials to return their calls can take a lesson from the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. The group has more than 6,000 members, is one of the largest advocacy groups in the city and the chief advocate for cyclists sits on a powerful city commission. "We've achieved a lot. There's no doubt about it,'' said Leah Shahum, executive director of coalition in an article in the San Francisco Chronicle.
