San Bruno Mountain:
Here is one of the most beautiful, underused, and unknown pieces of greenspace bordering San Francisco.
And guess what: it may come as somewhat of a shock, but mountain biking isn’t allowed.
This lovely hillside sits between San Francisco and San Bruno, and delivers spectacular views, spectacular trails, and terrain that could provide excellent multi-use [...]
When the I-5 Freeway was constructed through the city of Seattle, it effectively split parts of the community into halves. The no-man’s land underneath the freeway became a place no one would want their children to come near as it was problem area, with rampant drug use, prostitution, garbage littered everywhere.

The IMBA trail care crew have perhaps one of the most amazing jobs in existence. They work to improve trails the world over.
They travel together, in a new Subaru, stuffed full of living, building, and riding tools. For an entire year, they travel around the United States and beyond, instructing local [...]
This last Saturday, SFUrban Riders and friends descended upon Mt. Sutro to make some good trails even better.
Thanks to everyone who made it out to Mt. Sutro to lend a hand, a shovel, or a McCloud to improve the wonderful habitat and spectacular multi-use trails on that hillside. There were more new faces than old, [...]

As they spin around and through, the children’s faces lit up with enthusiasm and glee, grew focused and intense as they focused on riding the line, or just focused on riding. It was a non-stop whirlwind of children playing through our home-made skills park, loving every minute of it. Some fell down, all got back [...]
This past weekend, A group of dedicated SF urban riders took to the streets to let SF residents know why we’re here. The 7th annual Excelsior festival was kind enough to let us set up some skills-based features to challenge and entertain both the young and old.
SF urban rider staff were on hand to [...]
SF Urban Riders is looking to put our presence out there, where it will be seen beyond these little emails. We’re looking for an image, and though we’ve nailed down a logo, we need presentation for our outreach.
We’re looking for artists.
We’re looking to create Posters for all local bike shops, and would like to make [...]
Don’t you? Don’t you wish you could leave behind all the conflicts and schedules, the responsibilities and obligations? We think you should. At least for a little while, and if your boss gets upset, just tell them you’re doing research for SF Urban Riders.
It’s true, we could use some intelligent people doing some riding research. [...]
