Just did this last weekend. Rented some bikes and rode around / thru areas of town I hadn't been to before. Like any city there are lots of things to see and do. The city is very bike friendly if you don't mind sharing the road with cars (bike lanes on most major routes).

For relaxing check out Flora Grubb (Ritual Roasters) or Cafe Bello. Great coffee roasters!

You might want to check and see if the 49ers are playing, the Lion King is currently showing, the Westfield Mall is big and has a lot of shops that we don't have here in Canada. You could drive / ride the Marin headlands park area, or even drive north a bit and do some mountain biking. Pacific Bicycle might have some info on that.

Enjoy yourself! It was 20C this last weekend, and nice and sunny.

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

Burger here is good. This one is leaner than mission, but still juicy. The wait is ridiculous. Make resos.

Saigon Sandwich
The bread is more substantial and closer to a bageutte than the light stuff we're used to from Petite cafe. Dense fillings too.

Is City Light Books touristy? If haven't been there, I'd go there. It's where the "beat generation" was basically born from.

Kink.com has their HQ there. I think they do tours…

there is a bar called "The Saloon." Hear it's neat. Same with the a strip club called "Lusty Lady."

These are just some things my friend told me about that she hits up when she goes to SF basically every year… Dont know if they'd be up your alley at all though, hahaha.

Cannery wine cellars. There are some interesting products in that building.

Rent a downhill rig and do Lombard Street.

My girlfriend is going to Alcatraz before I get there since I have already been and don't want to go again. City Lights was on the list of places to go. The parrots by that tower thing is something we'll probably go see if we can locate.

The wild parrots of San Francisco are pretty hilarious. The "tower thing" is coit tower and they during the day they are often on one of the slopes…. but at sunset they migrate to this park: http://goo.gl/maps/7pju7 down by the ferry building.

I saw a documentary about this. Thanks to the internet for providing it in its entirety:

Go and check out this bike shop. Nearby are some very nice cafe's and wine bars. The street sits between the Castro (good place to visit) and the original Mission are (bit sketchy for my tastes).

Of all the San Fran stuff I did (Union Square, Fishermans's Warf, etc) this was the day that stood out for me.
