Earlier today the always-awesome San Francisco Bicycle Coalition took me and about two dozen other cheese-loving cyclists around the city on a 15-mile Tour de Fromage. Though I've been toodling around Berkeley and further afield in the East Bay on my beloved Trek for years now I'd never ever biked in the city, and this was the perfect introduction to some excellent routes fully equipped with bike lanes and everything. We met at the Panhandle Statue, hauled ourselves up over Twin Peaks, and then bombed down O'Shaughnessy to Glen Park and the wonderful Cheese Boutique where they had an entire counter of samples waiting for us. I picked up some aged goat Gouda there before we hopped back on our bikes to go cruising through the Mission and over to Hayes Valley to get some bread to supplement our cheese at La Boulange. Then it was over to Polk Gulch to Cheese Plus for more delicious tastings and the purchase of a hunk of cranberry Wensleydale for me before we pedaled up to the top of Alta Plaza Park for an epic picnic with some amazing views besides. And I had so much fun now I want to go biking in the city every damn weekend.
