SF Mayor Lee Expresses Support For Zazzle Bay To Breakers



San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said his wife got rid of his Spiderman costume long ago, but the man who's never actually ran the Bay To Breakers by his own admission (Hey, he's honest - gotta like that), expressed his support for the 100th running of San Francisco's giant fitness event today.

As the video shows, it was all sunny smiles as Mayor Lee was joined by Bay To Breakers Race Director Angela Fang, a representative from San Francisco District Five Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi's Office, San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr and representatives from the Alamo Square Neighborhood Association that called for the reforms that have reshaped the Bay to Breakers for 2011.

Of all, the Mayor, Ms. Fang, and Lisa Zahner and Ben Allison of the Alamo Square Neighborhood Association were the most pleased with the day and the Bay To Breakers to come on this Sunday. Zahner and Allison said that while "there will always be issues" they were pleased to see that the changes they asked for were adopted.

And of those changes, Chief Suhr said there will be double the number of police officers this year compared to 2010, and informed that the sponsor dollars will be enough to pay for the cost of police services.

Angela Fang received a proclamation from Mayor Lee marking the 100th Anniversary of the Bay To Breakers and Mayor Lee took possession of a special race bib marked "!00."
