Beginner... Golden Gate Bridge
I'm going to be in San Francisco and will be riding over the Golden Gate
Bridge. I plan to rent a bike at Blazing Saddles. Any suggestions/good advice/etc about riding over the bridge itself and then continuing on past the bridge and coming back to San Francisco via the ferry? I ride quite a bit in the DC Area but I'm unsure as to what to expect in San Francisco. Mike |

The kids in shorts and flimsy t-shirts never look too happy when they get to other side of the GGB. k -- http://karstensrage.blogspot.com/ Rants and raves about pretty much anything I happen to be thinking about |

Bay Area is known for its micro-climates - and hence the weather changes are pretty rapid. you may want to post to a more specific group: ba.bicycles if more info is needed... north of Golden Gate there are lots of nice places to ride - check out the online bike maps at http://www.marinbike.org/Map/Index.shtml +ravi |

I like to walk across the bridge, and then take the ferry back. You could
bike to Tiberon (sp), on a path and take the ferry from there. Bring a sweater. Tom |

I would take the towers slowly as there is limited visibility and they are slick. |
