San Francisco (SF) (Spanish for Saint Francis; Spanish), officially the City and County of San Francisco, is the cultural, commercial, and financial center of Northern California.

It is the birthplace of the United Nations.

Located at the north end of the San Francisco Peninsula, San Francisco is about in area, making it the smallest county—and the only consolidated city-county—within the state of California.

With a density of about 18,451 people per square mile (7,124 people per km2), San Francisco is the most densely settled large city (population greater than 200,000) in California and the second-most densely populated major city in the United States after New York City.

San Francisco is the fourth-most populous city in California, after Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose, and the 13th-most populous city in the United States—with a census-estimated 2015 population of 864,816.

The city and its surrounding areas are known as the San Francisco Bay Area, and are a part of the larger OMB-designated San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland combined statistical area, the fifth most populous in the nation with an estimated population of 8.7 million.

Bicycle messengers (also known as bike or cycle couriers) are people who work for courier companies (also known as messenger companies) carrying and delivering items by bicycle.

Bicycle messengers are most often found in the central business districts of metropolitan areas.

Courier companies use bike messengers because bicycle travel is less subject to unexpected holdups in city traffic jams, and is not deterred by parking limitations, fees or fines in high density development that can hinder or prevent delivery by motor vehicle, thereby offering a predictable delivery time.

A messenger bag (also called a courier bag) is a type of sack, usually made out of some kind of cloth (natural or synthetic), that is worn over one shoulder with a strap that goes across the chest resting the bag on the lower back.

While messenger bags are sometimes used by couriers, they are now also an urban fashion icon.

Some types of messenger bags are called carryalls.

A smaller version is often called a sling bag.

A backpack — also called bookbag, kitbag, knapsack, rucksack, pack, or sackpack backsack — is, in its simplest form, a cloth sack carried on one's back and secured with two straps that go over the shoulders, but there can be variations to this basic design.

Lightweight types of backpacks are sometimes worn on only one shoulder strap.
