My favorite way to bike in Golden Gate Park
Briefly

Golden Gate Park offers a serene environment ideal for biking without city traffic distractions. Routes like JFK Way and Overlook Way provide an enjoyable biking experience, combining a gentle climb and effortless descent. Entering at Stanyan and Haight, cyclists can stop for refreshments at Flywheel Coffee Kiosk. The well-loved JFK Promenade, now car-free, showcases giant art, road murals, and musical instruments, contributing to its appeal. In 2022, locals voted to maintain this car-free status, reinforcing the park's vibrant atmosphere and recreational opportunities.
JFK Way and Overlook Way both stretch across the park at seven miles round trip, offering an effortless coast west to the ocean and a gentle but steady climb back east.
Once you cross Kezar Drive, take a deep breath and let the city noise fade away - you're officially on the JFK Promenade, a glorious 1.5-mile car-free stretch that's been blissfully vehicle-free since 2020.
This is where Golden Gate Park lets loose: giant art installations, funky road murals, outdoor musical instruments, and a rotating lineup of lawn games.
No wonder San Franciscans voted in 2022 to keep this road permanently closed to cars - it's too much fun to give back.
