Our bike-friendly location at Bay Meadows makes it an easy starting spot. We’ve even got a Mosey to showcase “Ten Things To Do in a Six Mile Bike Ride“. Here are 3 snippets:

Get inspired by local food producers and entrepreneurs in this beautifully designed space. And, then, order a Sightglass Coffee … just ‘cause you can – 4 miles or 20 minutes to Kitchentown San Mateo.

If you’ve got the kids in tow on bike seats, explore the Magic Mountain Playground or just set up lunch at a picnic table by the bay – 4.2 miles or 22 minutes to Coyote Point County Park.

Reward yourself with one of CREAM’s signature ice-cream cookie sandwiches – 2.5 miles or 10 minutes to CREAM in Downtown San Mateo.

Looking for more great places to ride?  Bay Meadows and the surrounding San Mateo area are bike friendly and offer many different paths to ride and sights to see. We even have a convenient bike map that you can download here, so you can decide exactly where to ride.
