Description
This is a nice and easy road ride for the entire family that meanders through Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. It starts at the beach, circles a couple of lakes, goes past both the Conservatory of Flowers and the California Academy of Sciences, and travels over just about every road in this man-made urban oasis. It is a ride for all ages, is quite easy and a lot of fun. Lots of places to stop and explore here. Enjoy the beauty of the one of the world's most famous parks.
