CONSERVANCY COMMONS

Introducing a new way to roll in the Presidio! The Presidio is the first national park in the west to offer electric bike share! JUMP dockless e-bikes make conquering the Presidio’s hills easy and fun. Join in the festivities at the Presidio Visitor Center on Friday, September 7, from 7:30 to 9:30 am for free coffee, snacks, community speakers, and a chance to take a Ranger-led guided ride. The first 150 guests will receive a promo code for another free ride in the park! Register via the link below.
