Adventure Tips
Bring a Helmet
Although helmets may be provided, bringing your own ensures a perfect fit and added comfort during your ride.
Check Your Route Elevation
San Francisco’s hills can be challenging; choose electric bikes if you want assistance on steep inclines.
Stay Hydrated
Carry a water bottle to stay refreshed, especially when biking during warmer months or longer rides.
Lock Your Bike Securely
Use provided locks to secure your bike when stopping—San Francisco is bike-friendly but lock theft can happen.
