Bike + Ferry
Bike + Ferry is something I’ve mentioned as being ’superb.’ A small puff piece in an Orlando newspaper takes the Golden Gate Bridge to task for being so awesome:
Most of us have seen the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco — or least pictures of it — but imagine the thrill of bicycling over it.
I did that very thing several years ago on a picture-postcard-perfect day.
I made my way down to Fisherman’s Wharf and rented a bicycle for several hours and followed the bike path to the bridge.
What a sight to behold on the way to the bridge and what a breathtaking view during the ride over it!
Once back on land, I followed the road down into Sausalito, where I shopped and had a fantastic lunch.
Then, I proceeded to the ferry dock in Sausalito and got on board with the bike in tow and rode the ferry back into San Francisco.
This time, I got to enjoy the view of the Golden Gate from the water.
It was a remarkable sight that I will never forget.
I still haven’t quite recovered from the time some out-of-town friends visited and we ended up going to Sausalito…by car. I had been outmaneuvered by a car-loving friend here in town. Drats!
Next time, I shant be so lackadaisical in my preparations.

Im happy with most of the ferry trips Ive made (mostly to Marin)
Nice racks and there’s always been other riders to chat around with.
