Next month, I'll be in SF on business, with 2 free days to explore the city. Usual tourist itinerary of Fisherman's Wharf etc, Alcatraz (already booked in advance) and such like. I have two questions unresolved just now, if anyone can help....?

First - I plan to pick up a bike from Embarcadero (close to the hotel, and weather permitting) and bike across the GG bridge to the viewpoints at Battery Spencer and the fishing pier at Vista Point to grab some photos. However, I'd also like to bike down Lombard Street.... Any advice on the best way from Embarcadero to the junction with Hyde Street? I'm assuming the bike paths from the Bay Trail up Broadway and Polk St, but wondered if there was a better way? Plan then was to pick up the Columbus St bike path back to the Bay Trail via North Point Street.

Second, I need to meet a colleague at T3, SFO during the trip. Can anyone kindly confirm if the Starbucks there is accessible to non-flyers/in the arrivals hall or if it's post security? Or suggest an alternate meet-up point?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
