Do I need to return the bike to the same location?

Yes, all bikes must be returned to the Fisherman's Wharf shop before closing time. The last rental starts two hours before closing, so plan your ride accordingly.

Typical hours are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM from April to October, and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM from November to March. Check the operator's website before your visit as hours can vary.

How does the Sausalito ferry option work?

If you book the Day Pass + One-Way Sausalito Ferry option, you cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and take the Blue & Gold Fleet ferry back to San Francisco. Check the ferry timetable at blueandgoldfleet.com before you go.

Can children join the ride?

Children under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Tag-a-long attachments and toddler trailers are available for an extra charge on arrival (subject to availability); children must be under 120 cm and 45 kg. Children under 12 months are not permitted.

Is there a weight limit for the bikes?

Yes, the maximum weight per bike is 136 kg.
