Probably the most important bike route in San Francisco, The Wiggle connects Market Street with the west side of San Francisco via a series of quick turns on residential streets. Originally conceived in 1993 by bike advocate and water historian Joel Pomerantz, The Wiggle follows the path of a historic stream bed which mostly avoid San Francisco’s central hills, allowing easy access to the Panhandle, Golden Gate Park, and the western neighborhoods. San Francisco has made a number of bike-friendly upgrades along the route, including bike traffic signals, a bike-only left-turn lane, and separated lanes on Fell and Oak streets, and now the ride is useful, fun, andfeels pretty safe.

The Wiggle is a great way to ride out to Golden Gate Park to visit the museums and gardens there, or to enjoy the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival or other events in the park. From there you can continue out to Ocean Beach, visit the Sunset or Richmond district, or connect to the Presidio or the San Francisco Zoo.

* @poi[Duboce Park](13522879) – a great place for a picnic along the route. Visit the Harvey Milk Recreational Arts Center.
* @poi[Haight-Ashbury](13523082) – home of the Summer of Love, it's still the place to visit a record store or head shop, and get your tie-dyes.
* @poi[Golden Gate Park](13523086) – huge array of museums, gardens, and other attractions like the Polo Grounds and a championship disc golf course.
* @poi[Ocean Beach](13523087) – nice for flying kites or sitting around the fire pits. Swimming and surfing for the hardy only.
* @poi[Camera Obscura](13523084) – last relic of Playland-at-the-Beach, the Camera Obscura is a building-sized pinhole camera which presents a 360-degree view of the coastline.
* @poi[Sutro Baths](13523085) – explore the ruins of a set of fresh and salt water pools constructed for bathing and spas.
* @poi[Land's End Trail](13523088) – a rideable trail with access to beaches, and to the coolest labyrinth in San Francisco.

# Important Reminders

* The partially-separated bike lanes on Fell and Oak Streets still feel dangerous at intersections because of turning cars.
* Both ends of the Panhandle bike path have strange connections to the street. It’s probably best to use the crosswalks.
