San Francisco: Golden Gate Park Self-Guided Bike Tour

The locals in San Francisco have been cycling around the 1,000+ acre Golden Gate Park for years. Hire a bike and explore it all on two wheels. See Stow Lake (great for Strawberry Hill views), the sprawling Ocean Beach, Conservatory of Flowers, Shakespeare Garden and more!

As a horticulturally diverse oasis and undoubtedly one of San Francisco's most picturesque public spaces, Golden Gate Park makes a great destination for a day's bike ride amongst gardens, playgrounds, picnic groves, lakes, trails and monuments!

Hop on your bike, and check out the beautiful Conservatory of Flowers. Pedal round the Arboretum/Botanical Gardens, get poetic in Shakespeare Garden and ride around the Japanese Tea Garden.

Make your way around Stow Lake for impressive views of Strawberry Hill and head onto the sprawling Ocean Beach on the oceanfront bike path.

Snap the sweeping sand dunes and brave surfers before heading back past Bison paddock, Spreckels Lake and more. It's a San Fran must if you're short on time and want to explore more!
