THIS. I'm a car person, but I really enjoyed renting a bike and riding across the bridge. One side is for pedestrian traffic, the other for cyclists, so you just concentrate on riding. It's what I remember most about my trip.Originally posted by Mitsu3000gt
Rent a bike and do a loop from Fisherman's Wharf, across the Golden Gate Bridge, and into Sausalito, then take the ferry back to Fisherman's Wharf. Gorgeous area with tons of good food and little shops. Bike rentals were like $20 for the day. Just across the GGB, there is also an awesome lookout at Battery Spencer (old defense point for the bay). There is a road going up to it, so you can bike or walk up it no problem. It's an easy ride and didn't take more than a half day, so I highly recommend it. Doesn't sound like much but that was a highlight for us.
Bring a rain jacket! The weather goes from sunny to rainy fast.
Wear good shoes. You'll probably end up walking more than you think.
