Via a SFGate article, David Chiu‘s staff decides to have a multi transport cannonball run from the Civic Center to the Ferry building.

David's Staff

Of course given that David is their boss, David won.  Here are the official results:

  • Bicycle – 10 minutes travel time
  • MUNI underground – 20 minutes (includes walking time to/from stops)
  • Taxi – 20 minutes
  • Private auto – 20 minutes (includes parking time)
  • MUNI bus – 25 minutes (incl walking time)
  • Walking – 40 minutes

Yep since 1817 bikes ruled for commuting. Here is a picture of post race triumphant Chiu, which begs the question – HOW DOES HE AVOID HELMET HAIR?
