The staff were very friendly when we walked in the shop, but were a bit all over the place!
The bikes we hired had seen better days and were a bit worn with squeaky brakes!
But they did the job!
There are a few steep hills on the ride up to the bridge, but the majority of the ride is pretty flat and not too tiring.
The ride down to Sausalito is mostly downhill, and a nice ride on the seafront past some cool houses.
The queue for bikes on the ferry can get really long, if you go online you can reserve a spot on the ferry and don’t have to queue!
Back at Blazing saddles, we paid, but weren’t informed until signing the bill, that there was a $3 charge for paying by card (not cash) - would have been nice to have known that before my card had been charged.
Great experience all round, would definitely recommend hiring a bike to cycle across the bridge.
