San Francisco, California
From the Golden Gate to the Bay Trail — San Francisco rewards cyclists who know where to go. Hilly, windy, spectacular, and unlike anywhere else on earth.
Best Rides
The definitive SF ride. Cross the Golden Gate, descend through the Marin Headlands, and finish with a ferry back from Sausalito through the Bay. Arguably the greatest urban bike ride in the world.
View on AllTrails →1,017 acres of car-free roads, bison paddock, windmills, and the Pacific Ocean at Ocean Beach. On Sundays the park goes fully car-free — the best day to ride it.
View on AllTrails →Bay views, Ferry Building, AT&T Park, and the waterfront all the way to the Bay Bridge. SF's most accessible flat ride — perfect for visitors and a great commuter corridor.
View on AllTrails →SF's beloved flat-ish bike corridor threading the Mission, Hayes Valley, and the Panhandle. A sequence of turns designed to minimize hills — the daily commuter route that SF cyclists swear by.
SFMTA Bike Map →Where to Ride
San Francisco is not a flat city. But it rewards cyclists who embrace the hills — or learn to route around them. The Wiggle exists for a reason. So does the ferry. Use both, and you'll discover a city that's extraordinary on two wheels.
