It’s quite the reward for biking that far. Either way, spend some time exploring the overlooks and the amazing views you’ll see. You’ll have a choice of either continuing on to the quaint little town of Sausalito and taking a ferry back or turn around and biking back. There’s room to pull over, so be sure to do that if you need to stop or want to just soak in the view of the San Francisco Bay. Be aware of other bikers who may pass you on your left and never stop right in the way. Once you’re on the bridge, you’ll need to ride single file. Plus, you’ll get a really impressive view from underneath the bridge from that viewpoint. Plan to spend a few minutes at Fort Point and explore the history there. We were in San Francisco celebrating our anniversary when we did this bike ride, but it would also be so much fun to take a girls’ trip and go on a bike ride!


If the weather is nice, you’ll be in for some spectacular views all along the way. Once you rent your bike, you’ll ride along the marina heading toward the bridge. Even if you haven’t ridden a bike in years, an electric bike is a dream to ride! There are some very simple gears to use, but they’re more like “small hill, medium hill, big hill” gears. They only work when you are pedaling and basically give a really nice boost to the effort you’re putting in. They’ll tell you there are only two hills between there and the bridge, but trust me, if you don’t get an electric bike, those hills might as well be mountains!Įlectric bikes are not like motorbikes. Rent an electric bike! Seriously, this made our excursion so much fun! There are a couple of places to rent bikes from and both are a little ways from the bridge. However, why simply see the bridge when you can bike across it?īefore you keep scrolling, I have a secret to let you in on. Since seeing the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most iconic things to do when in San Francisco, I’ve put it first on the list.
