San Mateo is an excellent city for cyclists. There are a number of bicycle trails in San Mateo where both casual riders and those set on unseating the leaders of the Tour de France can hone their skills.
The best thing about the trail network in the area is that, well, it covers the whole area. Riders can leave from San Mateo and pedal all the way up to San Francisco. Along the way, cyclists can pop into Bay Area towns to eat lunch or head on up to Fisherman’s Wharf to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Bay. Visit Talbots Cyclery in San Mateo for a map of the entire San Francisco Bay Trail where riders find nothing but bay views along the coast.
Of course, that’s a long ride. For shorter jaunts, the city offers the six-mile Sawyer Camp Trail Ride, the 1.5-mile Seal Slough Ride to Mariners Island Park, the two-mile Ryder Park Ride, and the half-mile Central Park Ride.
In an effort to become a more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly city, San Mateo has installed 50 new bike racks downtown, as well as bike lockers at local Caltrain stations. With the recent upgrades and improvements, and plans to continue paving the way for pedestrians and cyclists, cycling in the city has never been easier.
