bike routes around san francisco? I'm fairly new to San Francisco. I've taken up biking the last few months while I have been here, and I want to do a variety of rides around the city.  I am having no trouble making up my own, but I have been unable to find a good resource that has routes already mapped out.  If anyone has any websites they can point me to, that would be very helpful.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition has a SF Bike Map &amp; Walking Guide that they'll give you if you join, or you can buy it at just about any bike shop in SF or online.  (and the online version at that link isn't bad).  It's got bicycle-friendly routes color-coded.  They also have various organized rides and other events.

SF Bike Coalition and 511.org worked together to make BikeMapper, a bicycle-specific tool for finding routes around SF.  (also available on SF Bike's site but set up a little differently.)

bicycling.511.org is generally a good resource. http://bicycling.511.org/maps.htm in particular.

Google Maps can give you bicycling directions anywhere, but is probably extra good in SF.

There's a bunch of different cycling clubs in or near SF, but I think many of their organized rides go outside of SF.  (SF is only 7 miles across).  If you just want to ride around on your own, you can probably find out the routes for some of these rides.
