Join us for a family-friendly, fun, bicycle joy ride on safe streets between Parnassus and Mission Bay campuses. We'll explore the route with a few stops along the way.

We will discuss the pros and cons of bike commuting between campuses, alternate routes between campuses, and highlight the opportunity for a protected bike corridor connecting the two campuses, including Safer 17th, and the needed improvement in bike infrastructure around UCSF campuses and the city in general.
