Want to know the rules of the road?  Great!  Remember that most laws applicable to cars are also applicable to bikes.  But, you should also use common sense and listen to your S.F. tour guide.  Advanced riders can treat stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop signs without much trouble.

 

Good to know

In terms of weather, the best time to visit San Francisco is in the spring and fall.  Specifically, the months of May, June, September, and October deliver the best possible weather and have the added benefit of drawing smaller crowds than the summer months.  Surprisingly, San Francisco sees its sunniest, warmest days of the year in fall, so it’s a bit of an insider’s secret to book your San Francisco Bike Tour for October.  Summer is often cooler than most visitors expect and many end up needing to buy clothing suitable for the weather.  Winter is understandably chilly; but, should you schedule your San Francisco sightseeing trip for December through February, then you can anticipate much smaller crowds. The best time of day to take a San Francisco bike trip is probably in the early morning or just before sunset.  The ideal lighting of the Golden Hour makes for a dreamy ride and some fantastic photographs.  But, if increased visibility is important to you, then midday would be the time to start out on a San Francisco bike adventure.  It’s what to do in San Francisco if you want to minimize the chance that you run into some fog.
