We are relieved to share the San Francisco Police Department’s update on the investigation into the alarming reports of people being attacked while biking on the Panhandle in September and October. The police have arrested one suspect who is making his way through the legal process and identified several others from the group, who are aware of the investigation.

When we heard about the attacks, we immediately got the word out and asked Park Station Captain Raj Vaswani to strongly step up enforcement in the Panhandle. We also rallied members to urge SF Park Police at their monthly community meeting to do everything possible to make this area safe for people biking and walking.

Many thanks to the SFPD for responding swiftly to our calls and for following through on the investigation. Biking on the Panhandle needs to remain safe and comfortable, serving as a busy and important connector for people biking between the Eastern and Western neighborhoods of our city.
