“Don’t let the hills scare you! This is by far one of the best and most scenic ways to cover some ground around San Francisco. One of the best ways to experience the Golden Gate Bridge is to bike over it and spend the afternoon eating seafood with a beautiful city view from Sausalito then bring the ferry back. Bikes are also an excellent way to explore flatter parts of the city like the massive Golden Gate Park or eating your way through the Mission District.”
