 Blazing Saddles Rental
Locations by Callavetta
If you can't bring your own bike, consider Blazing Saddles. This rental outfit provides visitors with everything they need to make the experience great; well maintained bikes, helmets, saddlebags, and maps.
Update: I just drove over the bridge and into Sausalito. It was a GORGEOUS day and there were a ton of people on Blazing Saddles' Bikes. I have one thing to say: Helmets people! Nobody is renting helmets and there is so much traffic and some steep hills with blind curves and you're not familiar with the terrain. Don't be stupid. PLEASE rent a helmet! Leave a Comment

You'll find these bike rickshaws all along the Embarcadero or at Ghiradelli Square, ready to give you a lift. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Bike Rentals--Many Do! by VeronicaG
If traveling on two wheels, the new bike path would be the ideal way to see some of the city. It would take you through the Presidio (former military installation) over the Golden Gate Bridge and onto Sausolito.
I'm not sure how I'd feel about biking over windy Golden Gate Bridge--but I know there are plenty of fearless bikers out there who wouldn't let it deter them for one moment!
Rates begin at $7 per hour and up; guided tour $60 plus ferry tickets. Lots of different bike choices available (see website). Opens daily at 8am.

 Well, I guess.... by VeronicaG
The cost of riding in this old-fashioned mode of transportation starts at $4.00 per person. I can't imagine it travels to the heights in San Francisco, but for a short trip between piers...why not?
I believe the rickshaw can hold two individuals.

Taking your bike on BART is one of the great ways to see the more wild and beautiful parts of the Bay Area. However, bikes are not so much "welcomed" on BART as they are "grudgingly tolerated." Only intense public demand finally got BART to relent on its' anti-bike policies.
Up until fairly recently, you had to have a freakin' permit to bring your bike on... effectively denying tourists access to the system. This, thankfully, has changed - anyone can bring a bike on BART - but there are still a huge list of rules and regulations that must be followed. The most annoying of these is that bikes are not allowed on trains during rush hour. This generally applies to all downtown SF stations between 7 & 9 AM and 4& 6 PM, but it applies to some other stations as well.
Bringing a bike on BART is a great thing to do, even if you have to jump through hoops to do it. Most BART stations have a brochure detailing the bike rules (although it will not include a schedule of off-limits trains). If you plan on riding BART with a bike, read their web page first!

If you're coming from the airport, I would suggest taking BART or Supershuttle. Please, don't drive.
I love to walk around the City. Every street has its own personality and charm, even the tenderloin. San Francisco has a thorough bus/train mass transit system called MUNI, but if a distance is too far to walk, I chose cycling over MUNI. I have heard people complain that cycling is too dangerous in the City, or they are intimidated by the hills- don't be! Smart cycling is smart cycling in any city, and as for the hills- if you ask a local nicely, they may tell you the wonderous secret of 'the wiggle'- aka how to ride through the city without hitting any hills. As for MUNI, it can work if you have a lot of time and a lot of patience and tolerance for humankind. (and a dulled sense of smell.)If you are lucky enough to be near a BART station, BART is also very efficient and worth the extra dime. Please don't drive. leave that to the professionals.

 Bicycles by sswagner
We also rode bicycles in and around Golden Gate Park. That was also a very rewarding experience. Be sure to bring some warm clothes and carry lots of water. It can get windy at times. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle
