While we never really understand the lyrics to the loopy late 1960s song “MacArthur Park” we have to wonder if any parody song (not that it needs any more parodies) to note a decision to introduce mountain bike trails into San Francisco’s McLaren Park.
The San Francisco Urban Riders are pushing for a plan that would create a bicycle skills park inside the second largest park in San Francisco. Currently there are 312 acres of nature trails and recreational amenities, and the group is looking to convert areas that are currently unused or affected by water erosion. Given that the Bay Area is the birthplace of mountain biking it seems natural to bring it to the city by the Bay. We’ll continue to follow this story as it develops.
