San Francycle

The Mission, Dogpatch & Potrero Hill


Keep those muscles warm and show local cyclist pride as you whip through downtown streets wearing San Francycle's California-bear-on-a-bicycle tee and SF bike-district hoodie (Mission is represented by fixies, Castro by exercise bikes). Designer-owner and cyclist Tommy Pham prints his designs here in SF, so your souvenir tee has neighborhood street cred that earns bike-messenger nods, if not right of way.
