We live in Mission Bay, and we’d use 17th more if it was protected. It’s an issue with the kids being not very safe.
We ride along the Embarcadero or streets with protected bike lanes.
We’d use this more to commute to school and come to the playgrounds if it was more protected.
I worry about cars veering and the kids getting startled. Cars often come really close.
The kids have always enjoyed cycling, and lately we’ve been looking forward to it more and more.
