How to Find Bike Party

On May 3, 2025 I wrote that the day before I was really frustrated because I needed to work but instead went to visit my dad. I caught a five bus with my bike and at Eighth Avenue I rode quickly to his house where he Dad was watching the Warriors.

I knew I would be going to Bike Party later so when I said bye to my father I caught a 48 bus to Noe Valley instead of riding through the Haight.

I calculated how to find Bike Party from Diamond Hights but realized the ride website was a static webpage. That caused me a little bit of frustration. However, I found the bike ride right after getting off the bus at 24th and Douglas. The group rode around Chavez to Potrero del Sol.

There were these two guys standing near the group I was with who were making snide comments at us and I could tell they were relative outsiders, but I didn’t know that they had been going around harassing people the whole time we were at the park. One of them threatened us after we told him to bug off. At this point I could hear people in the background saying “...Time to go..”

I was shaken, but I was still happy that we had pushed back on the guy. Everyone around me was very supportive of each other about it. The way the acted towards us could have been worse. Some of the people around me really helped reduce tensions. I thanked everyone much later. Others were very concerned. I told a few people about it after the ride had gotten back on the road.

The group rode to hunters point Yosemite Slough and I chatted with more people about the incident. The whole thing turned out OK.

We rode to the Embarcadero. An acquaintance told me to meet him in North Beach. So, I said bye to everyone on the ride at ferry building plaza and I rode to go see him. He was having a good time. We had a drink and later got tacos. When he left, I took Grant Street and the ride home was fine.
