There’s a lot to be learned about how we’re spending our time these days by looking at the sales revenue of an outdoor store like Sports Basement. General manager Tom Purcell says that no one is coming in to buy team sports equipment anymore. Day hiking equipment sales are doing well, though. Bicycling sales are through the roof. “Bikes are the new toilet paper,” he tells me.

Sarchasm is a Berkeley-based band that’s been together for a decade. They’ve used their music to work through challenges, spread political messages, and support each other. The group includes artists who are trans and Latinx — and it hasn’t always been easy for them to find space in the pop punk scene. In this edition of Bay Area Beats, the band’s four members share the trials, and triumphs, that have influenced their work. Sarchasm is still releasing new music during the shelter-in-place — most

We’re down in the wilder spaces of the park, now. The lower side, with its hiking and mountain bike trails, its hidden gardens, its untamed forests. We continue westward, exploring this less cultivated area where there's more space and more animals, too. You’ll see coyotes out here sometimes. Plenty of raccoons in the evening. Foxes, if you’re lucky. We turn off the road, back into the forest. It’s quiet except for the occasional whizzing sound, gentle crank, and quiet chatter. We’re at Golden Gate
