The program offers a variety of adaptive bikes at no charge to people with disabilities.

People with disabilities will now be able to rent adaptive bicycles at no cost in San Francisco thanks to a new program from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), San Francisco Recreation & Parks (Rec and Park), and the Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program (BORP).
According to an article in Mass Transit, “The BORP Cycling Center hosts a large collection of adaptive bikes, including handcycles, recumbent bikes, side-by-side tandems and other models.”
As the article notes, “The Adaptive Cycling Program will run on Saturdays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. by appointment only from April through October. Locations will alternate between the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park next to the new accessible bandshell lot and the Great Highway at Judah Street.” The program was launched after a successful pilot program last year. “The pilot program was very popular among participants: survey respondents rated the program 4.76 out of five stars and encouraged the city to permanently adopt an adaptive cycling program.”
