There’s a certain kind of morning in San Francisco—the light soft off the Bay, the streets just waking up, the quiet hum before the day begins. This May, you’re invited to be part of it.

The UCSF Bike Bus rolls out every Thursday with an easygoing promise: Peace. Ride. Love. Community. No racing. No pressure. Just a small, steady stream of riders moving through the city together—some seasoned, some just getting comfortable again—all finding their way to Mission Bay.

If you’ve been thinking about riding but weren’t sure where to start, this is it.
