Buy a bike

As an introduction…

 

Contrary to one might think, San Francisco is a bikers friendly city, and its uneven ground should not discourage bikers of good will...

 

You can dodge the hills, or even, ignore them, living in a quite flat neighborhood (like the Mission, Lower Haight, SOMA...)

Rent a bike

Riding his/her bike in San Francisco is a way of life, a political stand, but basically.... and physically for sure, a challenge!

 

So, renting a bike is a good way to start as a future city rider. 

It is also a pretty good way to discover the city through beautiful and amazing tours from the Piers to Sausalito, Ocean Beach...

Last but not least, it is a good idea for an entertaining Sunday with friends and/or family.
