Description

Join the SF Bicycle Coalition for an historic ride through Golden Gate Park. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and the SFMTA are teaming up for a timely tour of one of our nation’s greatest parks. This interactive* and leisurely five-mile bike ride through Golden Gate Park will explore the history and origins of the park and how the prioritization of people-centered spaces have helped shape this space since 1901. We’ll visit the Rose Garden, 6th Avenue Skate Park, Marx Meadow, Hellman Hollow, and many other spaces in the park that used to be roadways but have since transformed into open areas for pedestrians, equestrians, picnickers, and people on bikes. The tour will be guided by San Francisco Bicycle Coalition staff and will end at Ocean Beach. Bring your own bicycle along with water, a mask, and a snack. *This tour includes a Google Maps interactive component, which provides participants with a view of historical photos and images. In order to better your experience we recommend downloading our Google Maps Link prior to the event.
