  • Tuesday: The East Bay’s 1000 New Cyclists campaign continues its Mentor & Bike Buddy workshops, hooking up experienced cycling residents with newcomers looking for some wisdom on getting around the area by bike. 7pm.
  • Sunday: The World AIDS Ride tours the sites and neighborhoods of San Francisco that have held significance in the fight against AIDS over the past 30 years. The ride begins at McLaren Lodge in Golden Gate Park and will “pass through many areas and neighborhoods that have been touched or greatly affected by HIV/AIDS.” It ends with a ceremony at the National Aids Memorial Grove. 8am.

Editor’s note: Streetsblog SF is posting lightly today and will be taking the rest of the week off. Happy Thanksgiving!
