The SF route starts at the intersection of Eighth and John F. Kennedy and travels through the park. Belden’s children attend Presidio Knolls and, in December, he led many families to the SoMa district school.

“A car-free space is more accessible and equitable for people and the space is just beloved by nearly everyone,” he said. “It has been used like 8 million times since it was made car-free.”
The Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on the future of JFK in March.
SF dad Luke Bornheimer also joined the bus and rode with his 2-year-old daughter in a bucket seat attached to the front of his bike. Bornheimer’s daughter attends Big City Montessori in the Bayview.
Several dozen families and children rode through city streets — mainly using John F. Kennedy Drive through Golden Gate Park, which has been fully closed to traffic during the pandemic — as part of what’s called a bike bus.
The communal ride operates similar to a school bus, with bikers joining along a route that takes kids to school.
SF father Peter Belden, who organized the ride, said it’s the first-ever bike bus in the city, and he’s planning a follow-up one for Jan. 14 (get info from Kid Safe SF).
“There were almost 30 people in the bus, and I think the next one will be double or triple,” said Belden, whose 13-year-old son joined the bus. “It’s so positive and fun for everyone. There were two kids who joined the ride, friends of my son, whose parents had meetings, and they were allowed to ride along. They hadn’t ridden their bike to school before, but because it was a bus, they felt safe doing it.”
“It was uplifting and inspiring and just joyous,” he said of the ride.
John F. Kennedy Drive was the centerpiece of the route and provided 1.5 car-free miles where families could ride in the middle of the street. The road has long been closed to traffic every Sunday and some Saturdays, but in April 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the city permanently shut out cars to the segment of JFK Drive passing by the Rose Garden and de Young Museum to give residents more space to recreate and socially distance.
