A man who fell off a beach cliff while mountain biking near Daly City on Wednesday was rescued with only minor to moderate injuries, authorities said.

The man, whose name was not released, was riding a mountain bike along a narrow hiking path near Westline and Skyline drives in Daly City when he fell around 6 p.m., said Matt Lucett, a spokesman for the North County Fire Authority.
