Touristy, yes, but essential. Download the JUMP bike app to access the bright orange electric bikes in our neighborhood, or anywhere in the northeast of SF. It's an easy 30 minute ride from our house. If you're crossing the bridge or going to Sausalito, make sure the battery is fully loaded. You can only stop your ride within a limited part of SF
