I was scouring the internetz for a one-stop page about all the cycling that the bay area has to offer. I didn't find what I was looking for so I'd like to ask the community for your help in my research.

Basically, I am looking to move from LA to SF(area).
Considering: Marin, SF, Berkeley.
Work is near Embarcadero station (or possibly at home).
I have a car but would consider selling it.

I've heard of Paradise Loop, Mt. Tam, and Mt. Diablo; that's it. I like going fast on my road bike, that doesn't mean that I am!


- Where are the weekly crit practice rides?

- What are the climbing options besides Mt. Tam and Mt Diablo? Easily accessible without a car?

- Marin or City or East Bay; taking votes. All 3 align with my personality in some manner; I'm still determining which would be best long term.

- Which Bay Area bike clubs are the largest (membership) ?


Thanks!
