Kretanje gradom
There are rental bikes at the corner of Bryant and 20th.
Use your Lyft app to rent the bikes. Super simple, and some are electric-assisted. Easy to get to BART this way or the ballpark.

Watch the street signs for street cleaning
Note that this side of the street has street cleaning from 9-11 a.m. (double check this--it changes sometimes) on M, W, and Friday. You will get ticketed if you're parked on the block during that time.
