As SF locals, my girlfriend and I decided to play tourists for the weekend, and renting electric bikes from Blazing Saddles turned out to be a fantastic choice. I have never walked the Golden Gate Bridge, let alone biked across it, so it was an unforgettable experience. The electric bikes made the hills a breeze so I recommend them if you think you may have a challenge with that. A nice surprise, though, was their secret GPS-guided tour app – an absolute game-changer!
I’d heard about the app a few weeks earlier during a GoCar tour, so when we rented the bikes, I asked the Blazing Saddles staff about it. Strangely, they had no idea what I was talking about and instead showed us a video with route instructions before sending us on our way. Determined to find the app, we stopped by GoCar, where they provided a QR code to download it. The turn-by-turn directions and engaging commentary brought the entire ride to life, highlighting landmarks and history we’d have otherwise missed. I also felt it helped me stay on the correct route on my journey.
We stopped for lunch in Sausalito at The Joinery, a spot recommended in the app, which had delicious food and a great beer selection. We were able to get a free drink with our meal with our bike reservation. On the ferry ride back, we got some more beautiful views from a different perspective which was awesome.
The whole day was an absolute blast – incredible views, a fun and seamless ride, and plenty of memorable moments. Just make sure to ask around for the GPS tour app – it was the secret ingredient that took this experience to the next level! If you’re looking for a unique way to explore the city, I can’t recommend this enough.
