Itinerary
Friendly staff will show you route directions and give you a safety orientation to make sure you're comfortable on your new ride. With your choice of a comfort bike, tandem, electric bike, or kid's bike, the perfect bike for every rider awaits! Each rental includes a helmet, bike lock, bike bell, and a rear rack and bungee cord for backpacks. City map and route layouts in hand, set off to explore San Francisco by bike!
From Fisherman’s Wharf, you can take the car-free National Park bike path on a mostly flat route along the waterfront and through Fort Mason, the Marina, the Presidio and historic Fort Point. Pedal onto the Golden Gate Bridge to enjoy sweeping views of the city skyline, Alcatraz Island, and more! Once you've crossed the bridge, you can explore the charming bayside town of Sausalito, then continue on to see California’s famous redwood trees in Mill Valley at the base of Mt Tamalpais. From there, you can continue to Tiburon or cycle back. Ferry service is available from either Sausalito or Tiburon, and you can take your bicycle onto to the ferry to return to San Francisco.

So easy to pick up these bikes and guidance given beforehand was great. Greeted at the entrance and asked to sign a waiver. We then watched a short video providing directions and information about what to expect. We were then given helmets and provided with our bikes to ride through the shop to ensure we were comfortable. And off we went! Took our time riding out I to the bridge and across to Sausalito where we had some lunch before getting the ferry back. Had to just ride along the seafront to get back to the shop to drop bikes off. Lovely day and even my 15year old and 11year old enjoyed it.
Great experience renting bikes from blazing saddles. The GPS route with lots of interesting facts on SF and area was really useful. Bikes in great condition and easy to use. The electric bikes really helped with getting up the hills!
Amazing day with our quality electric bike
We booked directly with Blazing Saddles - to include the charter ferry return option from Sausalito. Staff were incredibly helpful and enthusiastic on both sides of the Bay. Would highly recommend.
We had the best ride from start to finish with Blazing Saddles E-Bikes. From being greeted, trained, and set off on the right path at the shop, to the midway point guys in Sausalito, to the sea lions at Pier39, my family thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Blazing Saddles E-bike rentals. The bikes were in great shape, did the job getting up hills, and were comfortable for our soft bottoms. We had a blast with this booking and would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the city.
This bike rental shop was fantastic. I snagged an all day ebike rental and departed around 9 AM for Tiburon. The ride was super enjoyable on the bike and the electric assist made sure I arrived in time to get lunch at Sam's Anchor Cafe before catching the 1:15 PM ferry back to the city. It was a super easy ride back to the shop. I really appreciate the friendly staff helping make sure I had what I needed to go a bit further than most folks going up to Sausalito. I'll be back for another lap at some point :)
We had the best day riding over to Sausalito and back. The electric option made riding for everyone in our party doable. Mikey was super helpful and friendly as was the rest of the staff! The bikes were in great shape, fully charged and ready to take on the day. We'd definitely rent through Blazing Saddles again. The price was fair, comparable to other companies in the area.
A must-do while in San Francisco! The staff here is friendly and very informative. They will give you clear directions on how to navigate, and if you have the time, bonus stops. After biking the bridge we continued on into Sausalito (very doable with the e-bikes); a charming town with great food. From there we traded in the bikes for the ferry that took us right by Alcatraz. I recommend asking if you can return your bike to the pier location, which is what we did. Mikey Bikey made the drop off process seamless. Dropping them off there made it very easy to then explore Pier 39 and see the sea lions. To note - my wife and I did this while in port during our cruise trip.
Not a good experience, and I would not recommend this place. I rented an electric bike, and the instructions were given so quickly that there seemed to be little concern about whether I actually understood everything. During the rental, the bike’s power went down very quickly. When I returned the bike and explained the problem, the employee had an attitude and told me that I should have called them while I was out with the bike. However, during the instructions, no one ever told me that I could or should call them if I experienced a problem. When I pointed this out, I was told that it was in the contract, followed by the comment, “which I’m sure you didn’t read.” To make matters worse, I was then told in a taunting and unnecessarily rude tone to give back the helmet “before we charge you for it.” If contacting the shop during the rental is what customers are expected to do when there is a problem, that should be clearly explained when the bike is handed over—especially when the operating instructions are being given so quickly. The bike issue was disappointing, but the dismissive and condescending way my concern was handled made the experience much worse. I would not recommend them.
So I used a coupon via Big bus tour and paid extra to rent an electric bike for 2 hours instead of an hour free with the coupon. I wasn’t blown away. It was fine but the vibe was off maybe because I used a coupon. Idk but I wouldn’t use them again especially with so many other options. Fun experience riding across the Golden Gate Bridge though and no equipment issues other than slightly squeaky brakes.
Fantastic service. Bikes were in great condition and easy to use. Operation was explained clearly with a quick test ride before we left. A short video to explain road rules was available as non locals. Recommend e-bikes even if you’re fit to really enjoy the experience. We intended to drop the bikes and ferry back but rode back as we loved it so much.
Ebikes are the best! We explored the city with ease.
As a person who loves to bicycle, I really appreciate it very nice Bike. It was well tuned annd operated perfectly. The check-in and checkout was seamless and was a full day. had plenty of time to explore. Best bike rental experience ever.
Great explanation of how to use the bikes and when one of us decided to rent a less powerful option, we received a refund for the difference.
Bike was in excellent condition, check in was fast - but, for me anyway (as someone who had not experienced an e-bike previously), was too fast. The receptionist rushed through the bike features and I was thoroughly unprepared for the ride. Consequently at the steep ramp just prior to the bridge, I was unable to pedal and had to haul the heavy bike up the hill. He had omitted to tell me how the battery level affected the input from the pedals. As I say, I was impressed with the standard of the bike and, once i had figured out how the bike worked, really enjoyed the ride, the time in Sausalito and the ferry back. So I would recommend the service but just make sure you know how an electric bike works before you go!
My teenage son and I decided on a Saturday afternoon to bike the shoreline and across the Golden Gate Bridge on a whim without reservation, and Blazing Saddles had plenty of bikes on hand to accommodate. We chose e-bikes which were fun and easy to operate (we were new to using them). Biking across the Golden Gate Bridge was one of the best experiences of my life, so thrilling and iconic, with magnificent views. The Blazing Saddles staff were knowledgeable, gave suggestions, and made sure we were comfortable with our helmets and bikes. Return was easy-peasy. 10 out of 10 experience!
Hired the electric bikes out for 4 hours which I would say was perfect.. easily enough time to get over to Sausalito and have a couple of hours there (beautiful place) and then ride back over the bridge again.. would highly recommend blazing saddles.. fantastic morning out and friendly service
Hands down THE BEST thing to do in San Francisco!!! Blazing Saddles makes renting bikes incredibly easy! We checked in and were on our bikes and out the door in under 10minutes. The bikes come with bags (to store a water bottle, fanny pack, etc), locks, and maps so you have everything you need for an incredible day. It's definitely worth the extra money to rent the electric bikes. San Francisco can be windy, especially when riding out to the Golden Gate, so you'll enjoy having the extra pedal power. We rented bikes with our teenagers and rode along the marina, over the Golden Gate to Sausalito, and they all had a blast. There are several parking garages nearby, which is nice because a lot of the parking in SF is limited to 2 hrs. Blazing Saddles is also centrally located, so it's a great start/end point for a fun day in the city. I used to live in San Francisco and biking around was always my favorite thing to do with friends who came into town. It was fun to do it with my kids. Blazing Saddles has been around for years so if you rent from them you're in good hands!
Excellent company, the bikes were great and the ride across the GG Bridge was amazing. This was one of our favorite adventures. Highly recommend!
Such an efficient pick up serivce and all staff were helpful and friendly. The route was simple to navigate, but downloaded the map on the app, which also gave a good tour as you rode along. Would highly recommend!
Great location solid bikes friendly staff! We did the San Fran to Sausalito ride in under 4 hours today with a small plate lunch. They have a location to leave your bike at once your cross into and down to the water.
Hired a bike for the full day and saw a lot of San Fran on an electric bike. Still had 40% charge left in the battery and we tackled a lot of steep hills throughout the day.
We enjoyed this tour very much. We had great bikes and getting them was very easy. The staff was so nice, especially the girl who even spoke german. We can highly recommend booking with blazing saddles!
Ashamed to say we lived in the Marina District for years. Fast forward 40 years and being retired. Living far away. Came back for a long summer weekend. Decided to ride bikes near the wharf area. That morphed into an e-bike rental. And a self guided 12 mile trip through Fort Mason, the Marina, Crissy Field, Fort Point, all the way across the Golden Gate Bridge and back, and the long way through the Presidio back to the Blazing Saddles location on Hyde. The bikes, which we have never done before, worked exactly as we were briefed. It was a perfect experience. From our walk in to get a bike, which was very efficient, to getting our helmets, our bikes, and our briefings, went very smoothly. Everyone we talked and worked with was professional and courteous. We felt “Unreasonable Hospitality” from checkin to checkout. Many thanks to all the staff, including those behind the scenes to prep our rides, for creating such a memorable day.
Great company to deal with. Welcomed initially by the lovely Cara -Rose, who helped us decide on where was best to go. The bikes were fantastic and we had a fabulous morning cycling to the Golden Gate Bridge and onwards to see a few other attractions. Highly recommend, staff were friendly and eager to help.
The ride from Beach street to Sausalito was so fun with a few stops on the way. The e-bikes were in great condition and rode really well. We had a 12, 13, and 15 year old with us. Everyone had a blast and the pre-arranged ferry from Sausalito back to SF was great as well. I highly recommend this experience.
This was our first time on e-bikes and we are SOLD! It was incredibly swift and easy to pick up the bikes, they easily carried us over 20 miles, took the hills as fast as we wanted, and the locks provided were perfect for a couple touristy pit stops. Riding our bike over the Golden Gate bridge is definitely high of my list of things I've done in my life! If I had to do it over again, I might have rented for the entire day and spent more time around Sausalito and the Presidio.
A very simple rental of pedal assist bikes. Information on Golden Gate Bridge ride and instructions for bike use very clear and concise. Fabulous ride and love the bikes. Thankyou Blazing Saddles! 👏🏻👏🏻
The staff was SO friendly and professional. The bikes were newer and worked great!
Amazing experience. Irish man working there was very friendly and had excellent knowledge and humor. Would go again
The bikes were great. The service and staff were exceptionally well-organized, super professional, the information was clear, and everyone was super friendly. Lovely experience! Strongly recommend reserving bikes and signing the release forms online in advance; makes getting the bikes and getting out on your ride that much faster. We rented the “Off Road” version of the electric bikes with the super fat tires because we wanted to have the option of riding up into the Marin Headlands after crossing the bridge and touring around Sausolito. As it turned out we barely used the full battery range because we were in “Eco” mode most of the time (when we returned the bikes with about 80% battery left). If we were to do it again we’d rent the regular electric bikes and just ride in eco mode the whole time — only using the higher power to get up the really steep inclines. The off road bikes were quite heavy and a bit unwieldy compared to the regular electric bikes.
Great service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, fab equipment
Had such an amazing experience renting bikes here! The staff was super friendly, helpful, and made the whole process quick and easy. The bikes were clean, comfortable, and in great condition, which made riding around San Francisco so much fun. They gave us great recommendations on scenic routes and places to stop along the way. Exploring the city and riding by the water was honestly one of the highlights of the trip. I would definitely rent from here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting SF!
Really friendly staff, excellent support and information. We loved our Bike ride over the bridge and catching the ferry back
I had such a wonderful day riding back-and-forth to Sausalito over the bridge. The folks at Blazing Saddles got me equipped and on my way with no hassle and were very friendly.
What an amazing experience. We had the best time. The staff was so fun and upbeat. Riding bikes over the Golden Gate Bridge was an epic top 5 vacation experience. Highly highly recommend.
Great experience from start to finish friendly staff very helpful got our bikes and headed along the cycle path to the golden gate bridge and the on to sausilito which is a lovely place to visit plenty resteraunts cafes and shops we then got the ferry back which was booked with blazing saddles a real fun way to spend a day...
My husband and I loved this rental shop! Vibrant, fun shop with happy, energetic, helpful staff. Helmets and bikes were top quality. The bikes had sturdy phone holders on the handlebars and their digital map made navigating easy, we never got lost. I enjoy renting bikes on many vacations and this shop had some of the best I've used. We did get Ebikes and so glad we did as we rode over the bridge and back (we didn't use the ferry). The E assist really helped with the hills and made the ride fun!
Great experience. Team was energetic, friendly, professional and fast. Bikes are in great condition duration and worked well.
This is our third time with Blazing Saddles and they did not disappoint. This was our first E-Bike rental with another couple - and I highly recommend the E-Bike. We cannot recommend Blazing Saddles highly enough. If you do the trip to Sausalito trust us, go to the Joinery - their food is wonderful and worth a table outside as well. Great time as always - thank you!!
Amazing service, really amazing We need a change with one the bikes and Romina solved it quickly. Thanks! Totally recommended
Wife and I spent our 2 year anniversary in the city. Last minute decided to take advantage of the sunshine, and wanted to ride some bikes. The staff were all great! We didn’t get her name but the lady behind the counter was amazing and helped us out greatly. Overall very glad to have been able to spend a few hours riding and will definite be doing it again in the future
Renting E-Bikes with this company to ride over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito was the highlight of our San Francisco vacation. The staff is terrific and helpful. The bikes were amazing--1st rate with holders for the phones and throttles to help you get up the hills. Great weather helped too. We highly recommend renting E-bikes with this company.
We have done this trip several times. It has to be one of the best rides along the bay, over the Golden Gate Bridge and down into Sausalito. We stopped for lunch at Joinery and then took the ferry back to fisherman’s wharf. Great day out.
A fantastic experience. Friendly helpful staff at check-in and collecting our bikes. Easy route to Sausalito and back with our bikes via the ferry. I highly recommend this company.
Blazing Saddles was close to where we were staying so we popped down to rent a couple of bikes to ride across the bridge. The staff were fantastic in explaning everything and we were provided with 2 very comfortable bikes. We rode across & then came back on the ferry (along with many others). A great half day out with some magnificent views.
We hired e-bikes to ride over the Golden Gate bridge and on to Sausalito ( then ferry back). We’re not bike riders and we’re in our 60s, but the Blazing Saddles team made sure we had the best bikes for us to use, and helped us use them before we hit the ‘roads’. Quite a ride to get to the bridge, mainly on bike path. We absolutely loved it & it was a dreadful day weatherwise, pouring cold rain, we were drenched when we got over the bridge. We went on to Sausalito, which is on the road, but was not too busy and cars tended to give wide berth too! It had dried up by then, so was a lovely ride, and Sausalito was marvellous. First class service and experience !
wonderful sunny ride on a gravel / hybrid bike over the Golden Gate Bridge and into the hils beyond
I’m from Calgary and came to San Francisco because I wanted to see the ocean :) I really wanted to go to Sausalito via the Golden Gate Bridge bike tour, and my hotel recommended this place as the most famous one, so I decided to visit! The staff were very friendly and attentive. I was deciding between an e-bike and the deluxe comfort bike. Since they said it’s about a one-hour ride and not very difficult, I chose the deluxe option. It’s $40 for the whole day! There are a few hills, so it’s not completely easy, but it was definitely manageable. I started at 3 PM and arrived around 4:30pm, it took about an hour and a half, haha. For the return trip, you can take the ferry as an option. If you buy the ticket at the bike shop, it’s $1 cheaper, so I purchased it there. However, I didn’t end up taking the ferry because I was busy sightseeing and eating :-) If you miss the ferry, you can take Bus 130 back to San Francisco. Since the bike is quite big, it was a bit difficult to store it on the bus, but I managed in the end! I think it’s something to keep in mind :) They also offer unattended bike return, so after coming back to San Francisco, I was able to ride around downtown a bit before returning it. It was very convenient and nice :) Overall, I highly, highly recommend this place! The staff were especially kind, which made the experience even more memorable :) 타지에서 왔고, 바다가 보고싶어서, 샌프란시스코에왔어요 :) 금문교 바이크투어로 소살리토에 가고싶엇고 호텔에서 이곳이 제일 유명한 곳이라고 추천해주어서 방문햇어요! 직원들은 친절하고, 세심햇습니다! 전기자전거와디럭스컴포트중 고민을햇는데 1시간정도의투어이고 그다지어렵지않다고해서 , 디럭스로 골랏어요 올데이로 $40입니다! 약간의 언덕이잇어서, 완전쉬운코스는 아니엇지만 그래도할만햇어요! 저는 3시출발해서 4시반 도착으로, 1시간 반정도 걸렷습니다. 하하 돌아오는 일정은 옵션으로 페리를 타고올수잇는데 , 이곳에서 주문하면 티켓이 1불 더 저렴하다고해서 구매햇어요! 구경하고 식사하느라 페리는 타지 못햇지만요 ㅠㅠ페리를 못탓을 경우에는, 버스 130을 타고 샌프란으로 돌아올수있는데, 바이크가 커서 수납이 어려워서 애를먹엇지만, 결국엔 해냇어요! 하지만 이점은 주의하면 좋을거같아요 :) 무인반납도 가능해서, 샌프란으로 돌아온후에 시내도 한바퀴 돌아보고 반납할수있어서 편리하고좋앗어요 :) 결과적으로 정말 정말 추천해요! 직원들이 특히나 친절해서 기억에남아요:)
