Quick ride by bicycle from Daly City to San Francisco

Kick off your ride in Daly City, known as the "Gateway to the Peninsula," where you'll begin a pleasant 11.7-kilometer cycling adventure into the heart of San Francisco. As you cruise northward, you'll enjoy a peaceful journey along mostly quiet roads, perfect for a relaxed ride.

The route takes you through lovely neighborhoods and offers a steady ascent of about 154 meters, before rewarding you with some downhill thrill as you drop nearly 254 meters into the bustling streets of San Francisco. The max elevation you'll hit is around 128 meters, enough to give your legs a gentle workout.

You'll be gliding along mostly asphalt surfaces, so your bike should handle well, though there's a little mystery in those few missing surface spots to keep things interesting. With only a smidge of busier roads, you can focus on soaking in the scenic bits and the famous fog of San Francisco. Once you arrive, you're in for a treat, with endless dining, shopping, and sightseeing opportunities. Don't forget to snap a selfie with the Golden Gate Bridge when you reach the city - it’s practically a rite of passage! Enjoy the ride!
