You brace yourself with your legs, and gravity is your friend after the tipping point. Putting them back up, gravity is your enemy, and you have to start with straight back-lifting; it’s a good way to destroy one or more spinal disks.
not all of the turned over garbage cans were in the bike lane. it was pretty much all of them on the mission side of market between van ness and valencia. takeaway: crack is whack.
I wonder if the photographer even tried to pick it up. It’s not much harder than picking up a newspaper box. People oughtta own this city a little more.
And it’s camouflaged!
It wouldn’t be too hard to just get off your bike and pick it up back onto the sidewalk. Jeez…
Ever try to move one of those things? They weigh a ton!
Like this? http://www.missionmission.org/2010/04/12/it-takes-a-crane/
Hmm.. point taken. I wonder how it got knocked over if it’s so heavy?

I saw 4 in a row turning from Valencia to market. Crazy bastards!
this calls for an uprising.
Blame Chris Daly, his bar, the Buck Tavern, 1655 Market St, is right there.
There were a ton of these pushed over this weekend. What gives?
B&T bro-rage

I wonder if you ever bother to read any of the replies in front of yours? It’s not that hard…
Been seeing those on the AM rides, what gives? All of them in the bike lane, too. Machinery was propping them back up but still, bullshit.
I used to tip those over when I was a punk teenager, they are heavy as hell.
