Starting from shop near Golden Gate Park, gear up, grab your map, and ride through the historic Haight-Ashbury area, once home to peace, love, and the Grateful Dead. Check out gorgeous Victorian homes peppered throughout the area before heading into Golden Gate Park.

Inside the park, spanning more than 1,000 acres (405 ha), the opportunities are endless.
