hey what up man - I'm new to SF but I saw you mentioned there's a lot of places to ride -- could you maybe list like 5-10 cool spots/parks? I'm not very good, but i brought my bike out here hoping to have chances to ride but I just don't know where to go!
whats up man, i heaven't been in California for 2+ years now but I will tell you some stuff I remember. I actually didn't ride in SF that much but when I did the scene was always crazy and the locals always chill; so I don't really remember the names of any of the parks but there is a park like every 10 minutes (at least in the part of SF that I rode). What I did was I took the train places (I think it was like san trans train but there is a big station in SF near the pier. Tickets aren't to expensive but I was so young when I rode the train that I never bought tickets with my friends and the ticket checker didn't kick us off because we were young. The train connects to a bunch of other places with good street and parks. If you get off at the menlo stop, there is a park right across the street from where you get off that is not usually packed and, in my opinion, is a pretty good ride for a couple hours. Moreover, there is a 7-eleven and stuff right next to the skatepark so you can keep riding (cops occasionally kick you out if you don't have a helmet). If you bike like 10 min from that skatepark you can get to Stanford campus where there is a plethora of street sports, gaps, etc. that you will probably recognize from web edits (i have seen the verde team and kevin kiraley riding this area a couple times) and, once again, locals are cool and nobody kicks you out from anything. All ledges, etc. are waxed and you can easily go all day there. If you keep biking another 10-20 min you get a bowl in this place called greer. Throughout your biking from menlo to greer you go through malls and little towns where you can get food and shit. cali is a dope scene i miss it there. comment if you have any more questions i know a good amount of spots in SF's surrounding area but that being said, you could probably just ride around SF for a little bit and find some streets spots.
