Route 1: Getting the 22 MUNI bus back home from work
Distance: 6.7km
Time: 45 mins (not including time to walk to the bus stop!)
Average speed: 9km/h (!!)
Pros: Not driving, can read a book
Cons: Getting stabbed in the pancreas, the malefic odour of a San Francisco transient as they sit right next to you
Route 2: Riding my bike
Distance: 11.0km
Time: 37 minutes
Average speed: 18 km/h
Pros: Exercise, the view along the waterfront, not being tied to a bus schedule
Cons: Headphone-wearing pedestrians walking out in front of you, splashback from the giant octopus that occasionally tries to destroy the Golden Gate Bridge

You could cut that cycle time in half going 7th > McAllister > Polk > Chestnut (or Greenwich). Bike lanes on most of that.
Not that the Embarcadero isn't lovely.
