By bicycle from Sausalito to San Francisco

Get ready for one of the most iconic Bay Area rides! Starting in Sausalito—a charming waterfront town known for its stunning views, vibrant arts scene, and relaxed vibe—you’ll pedal south toward San Francisco. The route covers about 19 km (just under 12 miles), giving you plenty of time to soak in the scenery.

You’ll cruise mostly along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so you won’t have to deal with much traffic. The highlight? Crossing the majestic Golden Gate Bridge! Pause for a photo; it’s a rite of passage for every Bay Area cyclist.

There are a few solid climbs (over 560 meters of ascent), but the breathtaking vistas of the bay, Alcatraz, and the city skyline are more than worth it. Once you descend into San Francisco, you’ll find yourself in a city famed for its diverse neighborhoods and hilly streets. Grab a coffee in the Marina or roll down to Fisherman’s Wharf for a post-ride treat. It’s a classic California ride with unforgettable views!
