What's a good tour without a little lost?

Last month found me riding circles around San Francisco during afternoon rush hour until I came to some intersections I recognized, and still wound up halfway to the Castro on Market before I got turned back towards the Waterfront.

I'm torn on the use of a GPS while touring. wouldn't think its worth it that often, actually.

With a quality map and a good sense of place (and maybe a compass) a rider will never be that far off track. And I've tried, believe me!


A little turned around gives a rider multiple perspectives anyway.
