    Wonderful way to see the city

    We rented electric bikes and rode through Golden Gate Park, up to Golden Gate Bridge. Beautiful scenery. Easy to rent and return. This company is all over the place, so pick the area you want to ride in and find a rental booth.

    Fun and Anguish in Golden Gate Park

    To visit the bison in Golden Gate Park I decided to rent a bicycle and ride to their paddock from the Japanese Tea Garden. I was told it was about a 20 minute ride. It was approaching 4pm so I knew I had time to...More

    Easy to find, with well maintained bikes for use. Instructions are straight forward and navigating the routes are also easy. I recommend starting the Tiburon ride before 11am so you will arrive for a well earned lunch in Sausalito, then burn the rest off while...More

    Nice guided trip across Golden Gate Bridge

    Enjoyable ride across the bridge to Sausalito. Our guide was a native of San Francisco and was well informed about interesting points about the bay, the military history, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Great experience, terrible customer service

    North Beach / Telegraph Hill
    The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans, the sounds
    of opera, and the sights of the romantic Italian
    ristorante come together to create the charming
    neighborhood of North Beach, once the stomping grounds
    for the Beatnik Generation. Although parts of North
    Beach are known for nightlife that’s not always
    suitable for younger visitors, few neighborhoods in
    the city exude as much European charm and style.
