This self-guided bike rental has everything you need for an awesome day of exploring San Francisco! Pick up your bike at Fisherman’s Wharf or Union Square from the original "Bike The Bridge" company - with over 30 years in business, this company has the professionalism and experience to ensure you have an incredible adventure.
Friendly staff will show you route directions and give you a safety orientation to make sure you're comfortable on your new ride. With your choice of a comfort bike, tandem, electric bike, or kid's bike, the perfect bike for every rider awaits! Each rental includes a helmet, bike lock, bike bell, and a rear rack and bungee cord for backpacks. City map and route layouts in hand, set off to explore San Francisco by bike!
From Fisherman’s Wharf, you can take the car-free National Park bike path on a mostly flat route along the waterfront and through Fort Mason, the Marina, the Presidio and historic Fort Point. Pedal onto the Golden Gate Bridge to enjoy sweeping views of the city skyline, Alcatraz Island, and more! Once you've crossed the bridge, you can explore the charming bayside town of Sausalito, the continue on to see California’s famous redwood trees in Mill Valley at the base of Mt Tamalpais. From there, you can continue to Tiburon or cycle back. Ferry service is available from either Sausalito or Tiburon, and you'll also have the option to take your bicycle onto to the ferry to return to San Francisco.
If you prefer a more urban adventure, you can get started near Union Square, then venture west on bike-friendly Market Street over to ‘The Wiggle,’ a flat route to Golden Gate Park that’s popular with local cyclists. On the way, take a snapshot of the iconic Victorian ‘Painted Ladies’ at Alamo Square, then detour over to the Haight-Ashbury district to say hello to the hippies. Cruise through Golden Gate Park and over to Ocean Beach for amazing views of the Pacific Ocean, then continue onto the Golden Gate Bridge from there.
Keep your bike for up to 24 hours to continue exploring at your own pace, following your own customized itinerary. Whenever you're ready to return, just bring the bike back to your starting location, where you'll have after-hours bike return options in case you want to stay out late!

Great fun to do. E-bike was great for the hilly sections. Fabulous way to experience the Golden Gate Bridge, we had lunch at the joinery cafe. We came back on the ferry. The whole day was fun.

We hired the bikes as we were coming to the end of our stay in sanfrancisco, but hadn't seen the golden gate bridge (because of the fog) what a game changer it was the best decision it only took about 45 mins to get there went across the bridge and back I hadn't rode a bicycle since the 80s but it didn't take long to remember e bikes are out of this world

Such a fun day!! We rented 3 bikes from the Bay Street location for a hike across the bridge. The bikes were in good shape and they had a great supply/variety of bikes & helmets. They provided us with bike locks, bike bags to put your phone etc, a map and optional ferry tickets (which we used) for the return trip. My 2 teen/tweens had so much
fun, it might be the best part of our whole trip. I would 100 % recommend using this company. The staff was the nicest bunch of people… Super friendly and helpful. It was also fun to watch them cheer people on as the rolled in the door and make everyone smile. Tip for anyone riding the bridge (bring a warm jacket for the ride across the wind is terrible! And make sure you have enough time to enjoy Sausalito before catching the ferry back it’s such a beautiful little town with spectacular views, I could have stayed all day.

This was a great free cycling one-day trip. It deserves 5 stars. The while process of check-in was smooth and professional. They introduced basic usages of the bicycle and accessories, showed a short video about recommended routes and maps, gave a ticket for free snacks and drinks at a designated stop and a ticket for the returning ferry. I didn’t use both though.
The bicycle was easy and comfortable to ride. Its seat was not hard. They provided a lock, so that you don’t have to think much about the safety of the bicycle when you leave it.
The routes were just recommended, which meant that you can ride the bicycle to anywhere if you have energy.

My wife and myself both in our 50s decided to do the "cycle the bridge and visit Sausalito". What a great experience from start to finish. The young team in the rental facility were very good and full of energy and good form. After reading reviews we went for the e-bike option for a few dollars more and boy was it worth it. It made the entire experience so much more enjoyable as there is good inclines which we saw a lot of folks struggling on, it is not flat!! We cycled there and back and it was lovely. Sausalito was beautiful and a must visit.
Top tip: get a leaflet from the shop, scan the QR code on it and book online for 20% off. Brings the price for 2 e-bikes right down, $70-ish each but well worth it. Bike were in great condition also.

Fantastic friendly service. My partner and I were fitted with an ebike, the staff ensured we were comfortable and walked us down to the start of the bike trail to the bridge. We were also given ferry tickets and discount voucher for a bar in sausilito. The ebike definitely made the day more comfortable. Great experience!

Hiring the bikes online was a smooth experience. The staff was very helpful and advised to order online to get a 20% discount. The bikes worked fine. The video of the route in advance was helpful.
