Bikers Who Brunch

Lark — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:19:07 +0000

We happen to think enjoying pedaling through 24 miles of car-free streets is worth an early wake up call on Sunday, April 28th, but in case you need a little extra convincing, we’ve got food trucks, beer, and one of a kind entertainment lined up too! Whisk on Wheels, La Falafel & Pop Nation are just two of the food vendors who will be dishing out their gourmet grub to replace all those spent calories. Also grab a beer in the Sierra Nevada Beer Garden while listening to live music provided by Cyclecide or cool down with a few poses in the lululemon athletica yoga area. Whatever your post-ride routine is, we’ve got it covered. Invite your family and friends to join us for an afternoon in the park.

Donate to SF Parks and Enjoy These Perks!

In our urban environment, our parks are a little slice of nature in a concrete world. Whether you frequent Golden Gate Park, one of San Francisco’s greatest treasures, or a smaller neighborhood park, you’ll discover gardens, playgrounds, lakes, picnic groves, trails, and monuments, plus an array of cultural venues, events, and activities.

For our inaugural CycleSF ride, we’ve set a lofty goal—raise $100,000 for San Francisco Parks and Recreation. Yes, we are aiming high, but as they say “If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not high enough.”

Funds raised will go towards bike racks in San Francisco Parks, the SF Rec and Parks Department’s scholarship fund, and other worthy programs.

To sweeten the deal, we’ve created some really fun perks for our generous donors!

Announcing… CycleSF!

Joanna — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 00:44:27 +0000

We’re excited to announce the inaugural CycleSF! On April 28, 2013, CycleSF will host thousands of bicycle riders of all stripes to cycle around our city on a fun-ride that raises funds for the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. Riders may choose between a 24-mile ride or 13-mile ride.

The mission of the event is to promote cycling as part of a healthy lifestyle, and to highlight and celebrate the role of our city’s Recreation and Parks Department in providing a healthy living environment. CycleSF aims to build civic unity through an event that invites bicycle riders of all levels to traverse our city together, and communally experience San Francisco’s diverse neighborhoods from the seat of a bike. Thousands of bicycle riders will raise funds to support the programs and infrastructure of the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. We are proud to have San Francisco join other cities around the nation and the globe that also host city-wide, community supported cycling events.

CycleSF is not a race, but rather a fun-ride. The ride will start at 7am in the China Basin/Mission Bay area, make its way around the city, and end in Golden Gate Park with the last rider coming in at 1pm. The course will be monitored by the San Francisco Police Department during these times. As the ride is not a race, there will be traffic breaks staffed by SFPD and DPT officers that will allow some vehicle crossing at critical points.
