Quick ride by bicycle from San Francisco to Daly City

This ride takes you from the vibrant streets of San Francisco down to Daly City, cruising just under 14 km—with a good bit of climbing along the way! You'll start amidst San Francisco’s iconic hills and unique neighborhoods (maybe grab a coffee to fuel up). The route is mostly on quiet roads and has a decent chunk of dedicated cycleway, so you can ride without too much traffic stress. Expect a smooth roll on asphalt almost the whole way, though about half the surfaces aren’t specified—so be ready for a little variety.

As you head south, you’ll catch great glimpses of the city skyline and, on a clear day, maybe even the Pacific. Daly City is often called the “Gateway to the Peninsula,” marking your transition into a more suburban vibe. If you like a mix of urban energy and chill roads, this route is a solid pick!
