How do you like biking up hills? There are some with a 40% grade, and many with a 25% grade.
Going down is less work, but an opportunity to go flying over the handlebars or skidding out into an intersection.
You must keep your bike with you at all times, lest it be stolen.
- dang 7y agoI get around SF by bike and for the most part there are routes that avoid the big hills. And I find the bike lanes in the city just wonderful. Re stolen: it's a problem. Worse than other big cities? Not sure. A month ago I made the mistake of thinking it would be ok to lock my bike for a few hours inside the ticketed area of a BART station...no more bike. That was the end of that assumption. But with a good lock it seems ok in general to leave a bike outside for short periods. I wouldn't do it with an expensive one though.
