How To Make San Francisco Mountain Biking Better
|
1. Create a legal off-road shared-use sustainable trail loop network
in Golden Gate Park. 2. Work Toward Acceptance of the Linked-Loop Off-Road Trail System in the San Francisco Bike Plan. The San Francisco overall bike plan is being redrawn in 2003.

As of early 2007, there is now a multi-use trail network on Mt. Sutro. Click Here to see the map. Click Here to see volunteer trail workday information. In addition to this, the entire southwest side of the Mt. Sutro hill already has a hikable (not passable for bikes) but unofficial trail system which starts at 7th and Warren and runs up above the Laguna Honda Reservoir until finally dead ending behind the houses at the top of the hill. This particular section of the Mt. Sutro trail system, if it were ever developed, would be more than 1/2 mile of technical dirt singletrack! 5. Create more dirt trail bike and pedestrian connecting greenways. The needed greenways are: --Stern Grove to Mt. Davidson 6. Build a complete, multi-use trail which goes through from the bottom to the top of Glen Park. Currently one can bike on limited trails in the lower section but there is no mountain bike-suitable trail to go the full length of the park. There is an unofficial and unmaintained hiking trail which makes walking the length of the park difficult yet possible. A professional and lasting trail could be put in here if there were the will and the money to do so. Glen Park is the natural connector for three other and separate mountain biking regions: Twin Peaks, Mt. Davidson and John McLaren Park. |
