Great experience, highly recommend - Excellent way to see the sights, went across the Golden gate bridge and made going up steep hills achievable with electric bike. Amazing views.

Wonderful bike ride - Bike in good shape, wonderful care of Mike, very friendly service, highly recommended. Suggest to everybody to bike across the Golden Gate Bridge then down to Sausalito taking the ferry back (check the hours for the ferry).

Great bike, great service and location. - To start with I was a little unsure about what to expect but after reading reviews I decided to go with these guys. I had one full day to enjoy this amazing city so wanted a bicycle to help me get to where I wanted to see.
Right from the start, the location was good and the friendly greeting was very welcome. My bike was selected and presented in no time and after a few do's and dont's I was on my way.
I cycled almost 40km enjoying the GG bridge, Sausalito, the ferry crossing, and then across to the west coast - Ocean Beach, to dip my toes in the wild Pacific!
Returning the cycle was easy. A thoroughly enjoyable experience!

Great location for golden gate bridge cycle - Great location for bike hire to ride over the bridge and down into Sausalito. Couple of short uphill bits en route but mainly flat or downhill and some great scenery in the golden park at the foot of the bridge and then over the other side. We took the return ferry- suggest you get in the queue about 20-30 minutes before departure time.
Bikes were in good working order, helmets provided and friendly service. Definitely something to do on your trip to the city.

Great, friendly service! - This is the second time we’ve hired bikes here to cycle over the bridge. Great, friendly service! We booked online (much quicker and more efficient to do that) our bikes and helmets were handed over immediately on our arrival. The shop is close to the marina so only a few mins ride down to the cycle path at the marina. Both times we cycled over the bridge into Sausalito, had lunch and cycled back. NB. The little pouches in the front of the bikes are very handy, big enough to fold up and hold my puffer jacket and a great place for your phone. Easy to whip out to take a photo! We definitely recommend Golden Gate Bike Rentals.
NB.2! There is a parking garage on Lombard Street if you’re driving in, 2 mins from the shop.

Golden Gate Bridge ride - The online booking was super easy and the team were friendly, helpful and quick to get us going. The ride was fantastic but was a challenge for our 8yo with some pretty steep hills which we walked up. No big issue but good to know in advance.

Amazing views!! ( traveled w/kids 9-16) - Excellent service, we mixed up our dates and they were happy to accommodate since they did have bikes available. We had our 4 kids with us, ages 9-16. They did great! The views are spectacular!! They are still going on about how much they enjoyed biking through the cities.
Something to keep in mind, 2.5 miles from the bike rental to the beginning of the Golden Gate Bridge and 4 miles from the Pier 1 ferry terminal in San Francisco.

Below average experience - Poorly tuned bikes in below average condition. Observed much better bikes on the road from competitors. Weird situation where customers can’t enter the store. Price was reasonable if you don’t mind the lack of quality.
