Bike About at the S.F. Zoo

What does a kangaroo have for breakfast? Does a flamingo need to stretch in the morning? Are snow leopards cranky when they awaken?

You can get answers to these and other burning questions at the San Francisco Zoo's monthly Bike About tour, the next of which takes place Saturday.

'It's great because you can have the zoo all to yourself,' says Sarah Riemer, who helps coordinate the early-morning tours during which docents guide small groups of families around the zoo."
