Biking

Take to the road by bicycle in our one-week Bicycle Camps, led by the experienced and certified staff of the Presidio Community YMCA Bicycle Program.  You’ll practice your skills at our Skills Area near the Presidio Community YMCA, learn safe street- and group-riding practices on the quiet roads of the Presidio National Park, and then go for longer rides to parks throughout San Francisco and even across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Marin Headlands.  You’ll also develop the skills to be a responsible leader, an honest and positive member of a team, and a respectful steward of the National Parks and natural places through which we will ride.  All equipment provided.  Students who choose to bring their own bike and/or helmet must have their equipment inspected by YBike staff prior to using it for bike camp.  Students who have never ridden a bicycle before are welcome, and will be taught to ride so that they can participate.

Mountain Biking

Looking to get muddy?  Want to take your bike onto the dirt?  Offered in partnership with our dirt-friendly pals at San Francisco Urban Riders (www.sfurbanriders.org), our one-week Mountain Bike camp will teach you the skills you need to ride with confidence on the technical trails and paths of the San Francisco Bay Area.  We’ll first hone our skills on the trails of the Presidio, move on to master the all-volunteer-built trails of Mt. Sutro, and then take a trip to the Coastal Trail and dirt paths in the Marin Headlands, or to the trails of McLaren or Golden Gate Parks.  We’ll cap off a great week by taking a field trip to the mountain biking mecca of Marin’s China Camp.  You’ll be tested, you’ll be tired, and you’ll have a blast.  All equipment provided.  Students who choose to bring their own bike and/or helmet must have their equipment inspected by YBike staff prior to using it for bike camp.  Students must know how to ride a bicycle to enroll in this program.
