Bike Tour of San Francisco
Last Sunday we drove to San Francisco to ride bikes with some friends.  Starting in China Town there was a 4 mile stretch of streets closed to all vehicle traffic from 10 AM-1PM.  All along the "traffic free streets" were free activities to participate in, such as yoga classes, jump roping, hula hooping, samba dance classes, obstacle courses, bicycle tune-ups, just to name a few.  As we pedaled our way back toward the Embarcadero, we loaded our bikes and trailer onto a fishing boat for a free boat ride under the Bay Bridge to Fisherman's Wharf.  This was Lucas and Brodie's first trip to San Francisco, and their first boat ride.  (Yes, we had life jackets readily available.)

Once we were all back on land, we pedaled over to Ghiradelli Square for a picnic.  Once the kids had a chance to eat and play, we pedaled UP, UP, and UP some more to the top of Lombard Street.  Riding down the twisty and steep Lombard Street was quite an experience on our bikes.  At the bottom of Lombard Street our only choice was to pedal UP, UP, and UP again.  We pedaled our way to Japan Town, where we had an early dinner and did some window shopping.  From there, we pedaled back to China Town, said our good byes to our friends, loaded our bikes and gear into the car, changed the kids into their PJ's. and drove home.  All of us had a great time but were all tired after our big day.
