San Francisco has never been short on hills, bicycles or neighborhood bars. On November 12, we'll make use of two of the three.

This November, Bikes! at UCSF is clocking out and rolling over to The Homestead, a Mission District institution that's been keeping San Franciscans company since 1902.

The old saloon has survived earthquakes, Prohibition, a few questionable characters, and more than a century of neighborhood stories. Through it all, one thing hasn't changed: it's still a place where people come together.

Now it's our turn to add a few bicycles to the story.

Join us for an easy post-work slow ride from UCSF Mission Bay to one of San Francisco's classic neighborhood watering holes.
Ride with us or meet us there. We'll park the bikes, find a table, catch up with fellow riders and spend an evening talking bicycles—or whatever else comes up.

No presentations. No agenda. No particular reason to hurry.
Two wheels. One old saloon. A November evening in San Francisco. Seems like enough of a plan.

🚲 Bikes! @ The Homestead: Slow Ride + Meetup
📅 Thursday, November 12, 2026
⏰ 5–8 p.m.
📍 The Homestead, 2301 Folsom St., San Francisco
🚴 Mission Bay Slow Ride
📍 Meet: In front of Mission Hall, UCSF Mission Bay
🕟 Gather at 4:30 p.m.
🚲 Roll out at 4:45 p.m.

We'll take an easy, social ride through San Francisco to The Homestead. No racing, no dropping riders. The city is more interesting at bicycle speed anyway.

🚲 Bike parking: Bike racks and a bike corral are located near The Homestead, with a Bay Wheels bikeshare station nearby. Bring a lock if you're riding your own bike.

🌧️ Rain cancels all rides and the meetup.

Everyone's Welcome

New to biking? Bike-curious? E-bike rider? Daily commuter? Haven't touched your bike in six months? Come as you are.
No Lycra required. No pace to keep. No need to drink alcohol. Just bikes, people and a good place to land after work.

Bring your lights. Bring your lock. Leave the hurry at work.
