Pick up your bike, helmet, lock, and a map at the rental shop in the Marina District of San Francisco, located within 3 miles (4.8 km) of the Palace of Fine Arts, Crissy Field, Fort Point, and the Golden Gate Bridge — reached via a scenic bike trail alongside the Marina Green. You can ride north all the way across the bridge and snap photos at Vista Point, then continue downhill into Sausalito, a waterfront town with many shopping and dining opportunities.
To make your trip easier, return by ferry from Sausalito to Fisherman's Wharf; you can purchase your ticket directly at the ferry terminal. The entire self-guided bike tour typically takes between 3 and 4 hours.
