My husband and I are in our mid forties and are not in the greatest shape. We rented bikes from Blazing Saddles and biked across the Golden Gate. Absolutley the best part of our trip!I mean better than our Mr. Toads Tour, Alcatraz, and even the wine country and muir woods trip! Don't get me wrong, it was tough getting... more

The bridge dominates the city linking two massive land structures over a narrow opening into the amazing bay. The construction leaves a work of beauty that is as functional today as when it was first imagined. This is a must see. Beautiful. more

This is one of the best attractions I visited while in San Francisco. It's so majestic and incredible when you cross over the GGB. On one side it's the Pacific Ocean, On the other is an amazing view of The San Francisco Skyline, Golden Gate Park, Sausolito (If That's How It's Spelled), and the Bay. If You Want To Cross... more

I have visited San Francisco more than a dozen times, and finally was able to drive over the bridge a couple of times, and stop at the visitors center. The story behind the building of the bridge is amazing, it's certainly an engineering marvel. Standing on the deck with the strong, chilly wind blowing makes you realize how harsh the... more

I highly recommend biking the Golden Gate bridge. The view is as good as it gets. Be sure to stick to the side that does not allow pedestrians; otherwise, you won't be able to ride. The only downside is the level of traffic, which was extremely high on a beautiful Saturday in July. Skill levels range from people who cannot... more

I cannot recommend biking the bridge enough! We rented a tandem bike through Blazing Saddles and had an amazing time! The staff at Blazing Saddles is PHENOMENAL - they explain everything to you from the bike route to how to ride a tandem bike to where you should stop and take pictures. After your ride, the staff is at the... more

There are lots of pics out there of the Golden Gate Bridge, but it is truly something better to be experienced live. On the SF side of the bridge are a lovely garden, gift shop, and cafe. It's actually a pretty long way across the bridge, maybe about a mile, but if you travel the whole way from SF north... more

Me and my boyfriend rented bikes for the day, which came to less than $70 fr the both of us! It was a long old cycle to actually get to the bridge, but I haven't cycled in YEARS and it was so much fun. We just felt so free cycling over the bridge and the views were absolutely amazing! Beware... more

Biked across the bridge - absolutely brilliant views and very cool to be on the Golden Gate Bridge. Not surprisingly it is a bit windy so dress warmly - you can stop and take photos relatively easily. It doesn't take long to bike across the bridge itself about 10-15 minutes. It is getting to the Bridge that takes the time... more

the most amazing man made structure i've seen - incredible. the best sight in San Francisco for sure. the bus (you'll probably need at least 2) goes directly to the south side of the bridge. There is a visitor's centre with some great photo opportunities. Took us about 45 minutes to walk all the way across with lots of stops... more
