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 show kids and adults the ropes, explain our mission and why McLaren park would be a fantastic site for a bike park with skills based features, singletrack, and much much more.

It was truly amazing to see the enthusiasm with which children jumped towards these challenging balance beams and obstacles.  Smiles were on everyone’s faces, young and old alike as they romped through our temporary playground.  Over 75 children participated in the event, and every child had at least one parent with them, often two.  That’s nearly 200 people we’re pretty sure will vote for a bike park when the time comes.

Yappity yappity yappity.  I’ll now let the pictures speak for themselves.  And if you’re reading this, and are wishing you were out there, seeing what we’re all about, meeting the handsome devils (and she-devils) that organize and run this organization, than wish no more, and come out to Crocker Amazon’s Pilarcitos Cross race 10/19/08.  Details HERE
