northern california is certainly open the door for a cooler pattern on shore, all the way out 25, 30 gusts. 50s and 60s. the santa clara valley. 58 gilroy. 60 campbell. the reason being, they get that south, southeast breeze. hayward, sfo, over to half-moon bay. that's allowing the lows to stay near 60 degrees. overall, that fog retreats to the coast. high of 60s, 70s, 80s. it does look warmer going into the weekend. sal is here, he's looking at a screen and going to tell us, usually the reason i look at my screening is because sometimes the computer is doing things we don't want it to do. let's start with highway 24 westbound. this looks all right. in fact, it's lighter than usual. also on 680, as you drive on 24 to the tunnel. looks pretty good. 24 minutes, coincidentally to the mcarthur maze. things are getting crowded at the bay bridge. we don't have a crowd at all.
7:32 am
it's lightly traveled to san francisco. like wise for 880 and oakland and also 580. these commutes are definitely lighter than usual. you will run into some slow traffic here and there. but if you drive every day, you'll appreciate the nice break. northbound 101 does slow through sunny vail and mountain view. 7:32, let's go back to the desk. >> new this morning, you may see more electric bikes on the streets of san francisco. the city issued an interim permit to lift for its hybrid bicycles. christina joins us from one of the locations where folks can rent a bike. christina, i heard you earlier, you didn't want to take off on the bike. how does it work? >> yes, okay, so the law apparently is 18 or under has to wear a helmet. technically, i can ride it, so i'm going to do it. this is live tv. let's hope i don't fall. i'm not going to take the suggestion of our photographer, ben. so, basically how this works is that these new e-bikes are, hear we go. you're still following me. i got stuck on this protected

7:34 am
the first time. >> so that woman also says she is looking forward to this feature on these bikes that makes it easier for them to go up hills in the city. this interim lift is just what it sounds like. an interim permit. there are still negotiations between lift and sfmta to extend this and they said they really know this process could take months. they wanted to improve bike share service. they wanted to provide more options. i'm tempted to ride this again. there are bikers coming in the direction. hello sir, good morning. so, we're going to stay put for now and i just want to mention, they hope to have nearly 2,000 of these e bikes in the city by the end of the month. it will be a very slow rollout while these negotiations are underway. we're live in san francisco, christina. >> thank you. be careful. time is 7:34. well, in the news and elsewhere, joe biden is here in california. he is wrapping up two days of
