Golden Gate Park is an absolute dream for cyclists and the Wiggle, a zigzag route, is my go-to spot for a daily ride. It lets you avoid the hoard of tourists while enjoying the less traveled natural beauty of SF.
Start at Market and Duboce. There's a bike lane the whole way so safety isn't an issue. Follow the green bicycle signs. From the start, you ascend gradually. Sure it's uphill, but it's manageable even for beginners.
Pass through Lower Haight and Panhandle, and you'll find yourself in Golden Gate Park. Surrounded by eucalyptus trees and away from the hustle, this is my favorite part. Follow the JFK Drive for a while until you see a sign for the Conservatory of Flowers. Take a moment here, it's worth it.
The descent back is quite exhilarating. Just be careful of occasional walkers crossing the route. From close encounters with buffalo (yes, you read it right, buffalo!) to breathtaking views, this route has it all.

Hey cyclists, don't forget about us runners! This is one of the best places in the city for a nice, long run. Just remember, if we're sharing the path, let's share the responsibility, too! Now, if only I could manage to run uphill as easily as you guys bike it...
