Biking Golden Gate and area nearby. So much better than Uber. It was great to enjoy the nice weather.
We decided to reserve the electric bikes and rode over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, where we had lunch on the water, then rode back. I was worried about the battery power lasting the entire trip, but they were more than 50% charged when we returned them later that evening. The traffic was a little scary at times, as was the wind on the bridge on our return, but all in all it was a great experience. We all enjoyed it!
It was very easy to book online and they set the bikes out for us, keeping it mostly contactless except when we needed to sign a form. They provide helmets and little bags on the handlebars to store things, along with a bike lock that was pretty sturdy. You rent them for 24 hours and can go wherever you want, unlike some of the other companies in the area.
Two very inexperienced cyclists wanted to experience cycling over the Golden Gate Bridge on a visit to SAN Francisco. There were so many bike rental places to choose from but we decided on Bike & View due to its proximity to our hotel and reasonable price. We chose well. Staff member Tommy could tell I was a little nervous and kindly put me at ease by explaining everything. Helping me with my bike and giving good advice re directions and safety. We had a great bike ride over the bridge and was so glad we did it. Would recommend Bikeand View and a big thanks to Tommy
We were disappointed with the condition of the bikes. All three had some issues. One squeeked the entire time, all three were difficult or not able to change gears at all. The person behind the counter was not very friendly at first. He loosened up slightly after awhile. The only positive thing to mention was his last minute bit of info. regarding the option to drop off the bikes in Sausalito for a one way trip, after our surprise that they close at 6:45pm. This incurs and $12 per bike fee, but well worth avoiding the headache of hauling the bikes back on the ferry. Riding the backs back to our initial starting point was not an option for us. They say it's mostly downhill on certain parts, but this is not a trip for the occasional biker. Dress warm, it's very windy and cold on the bridge. There was also construction on the biker side, so that left very little room for two way traffic with some crazy speed racer bikers coming through. The signs say 15 miles per hour, but that d
