Golden Gate Park <-> Ferry Building Loop + Detour

This was a family day in SF. I wanted to go to Yoshi's jazzfest in Oakland during that trip but was too lazy. Nevertheless, I figured out the bike route from Golden Gate Park to Ferry Building from Google Map and decided to give it a try. The main street that connects GGP to downtown was Page St, a straight and mostly downhill road with relatively light traffic (it's a Sunday though) Once in downtown it's all Market St. Even though it's a main street in downtown, we cyclists actually share the lane with cars that must make right turns so it's not that bad. When I arrived, there were many tourists at the Ferry Building. I seldom go there during weekends and I'd rather walk around or shop there during weekdays. For the return trip, I consulted Google again. (Google usually came up with routes that utilize bike lanes) This time the main street that connects downtown back to GGP were Fulton and Felt. And of course, I needed to go uphill, which was not that bad (Category-5 climb) even with my 3-gear folding bike. If you really followed the above link, you might notice the route actually went through GGP to 39th and Noriega. That's Polly Ann. (No, she's not my girlfriend even though it does have a 偷食 feel and I did get busted: ran into my friend there!) Too bad they didn't make soft serve ice cream today (they make the most 富豪雪糕-like soft serve in the States, IMO) so I settled for a sundae :P It's one of my few bike trips that I didn't plan much ahead and there were pleasant surprises.
