After taking this pic I fired up Marine Traffic and looked up the name of the ferry. It was the Golden Gate.
After yet another Thule search, I think the arm is for clamping just the downtube.

Hey #BikeTooter!

How do I mount a bike on this type of bike rack?

I know that I hang the front wheel on the uppermost piece, and I know I ratchet in the front and back wheels on the top and bottom. But what about the arm? What does it clamp onto?

The rack is Thule, but I couldn't find this type of rack on the their site for instructions. Bonus points if you can find me exact instructions, or photos of a mounted bicycle.

If you're curious, this is a Genentech shuttle - I don't work for Genentech, but as someone working in Oyster Point I can ride their shuttles!

CNN’s Bash did a weird interview with Harris. An obvious error, they should’ve had Zsh do the interview
Software folks, where do you find job listings besides employers' job sites? I've mostly been using LinkedIn, any other faves?

A Great Highway Park is a no brainer (though as a full time park, needs a better name that doesn't include "highway").

Have you ever been to a city where the closest thing to the waterfront is a 4+ lane roadway and thought "this is great! What a good use of space"? (The Embarcadero, much of Santa Monica, Manhattan, Seattle, Chicago)

I watch SF Nextdoor (because my Supe told me it's important to him), and damn Nextdoor users hate the Great Highway Park proposal.

My take is that many folks hate it because they can't visualize it. I think we need more concept designs than are on https://www.greathighwaypark.com/, allowing people to see what beauty they'd gain from having it. They have a sense of loss, but not gain.
