Description:

Experience a day in San Francisco's vibrant bike culture by biking across the Golden Gate Bridge and seeing some of the city's most remarkable views. This self-guided tour allows you to leisurely ride along the Embarcadero to Fisherman's Wharf, the Powell/Hyde cable cars, and Fort Mason.

As a leader in the bike-attentive movement, the Bay Area's robust cycling infrastructure makes biking one of the easiest ways to see the city's signature locations. Pick up your bike at the Hyde Street or Union Square location and set off towards the Aquatic Park, one of the first attractions on the car-free National Park Bike Path. The mostly flat ride leads you down the Presidio National Park waterfront while the Golden Gate Bridge paints a picturesque backdrop.

Cross the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge and take a moment to admire stunning views of the city and bay. Then, give your feet a rest in the charming bayside town of Sausalito where you can grab a bite to eat or check out the wide variety of shops and galleries.

To continue the adventure, bike another 40 minutes beyond Sausalito and see the world's tallest redwood trees in Old Mill Park. From here, pedal on Bike Route No. 8 along the bay to the quaint town of Tiburon. When you are ready to head back, take a ferry boat from Sausalito or Tiburon to San Francisco.
