Try a biking adventure in San Francisco – bike the Golden Gate Bridge. There are plenty of bike hire outlets around the waterfront at reasonable prices. You can do a round trip by bike, or bike to Sausalito then take the ferry back. It makes for a great day out plus gets you out of the city for a different perspective of the bay.
From Fisherman’s wharf, make your way towards the Golden Gate Bridge. There are some great photo opportunities of the bridge as you approach it. Cross the bridge to the arty village of Sausalito. There are plenty of shops and cafes to explore there. We chose to go back to the city by ferry, passing Alcatraz on the way. Spectacular views of the bridge and out to the Pacific Ocean and beyond.
It’s about 1.5 hours easy cycling (only a couple of short hill climbs) by the time you stop for photos, and the trail is mostly bike paths. The circuit is 2-4 hours round trip. Ferries run every 45 minutes.
Take a good wind breaker jacket and wear plenty of sunscreen to make your bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge comfortable.
