Bike tour of Richmond architecture this Saturday

Whether you’re a Reid Brothers fan, a Richmond District history hound, or just fancy a nice ride around the neighborhood, you’ll enjoy this non-athletic, non-academic architecture tour sponsored by the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.

From the turn of the 20th Century through its first few decades, James and Merritt Reid designed an impressive number of San Francisco’s buildings, from theaters to hotels, office towers to townhouses, bandshells to barns. The tour includes a look at nine of the Reids’ Richmond District projects that help round out the collection.

The ride will last about 2 hours, longer if everyone is having fun. 😉 To join in, meet up at the Velo Rouge Cafe, 798 Arguello at Cabrillo. Push off is Saturday, November 7 at 1:30pm; be sure to eat a good lunch beforehand. The tour will stop somewhere for a snack too.

The ride is free for SFBC members; a $5 donation from non-members is appreciated. Contact Andy at the SFBC for more information.
