Sausalito Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Sausalito Bike Path runs through Mill Valley. It's a paved route with great views of the wetlands on the old Northwest-Pacific rail line, which operated from 1884 until its closure in 1971. The path ends near Mike’s Bikes in Marin City, where riders can continue along the busy Bridgeway into Sausalito or take quieter marina backroads.

Golden Gate Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

When you think of the iconic features of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the first things that comes to mind. This impressive suspension bridge links the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County, with fantastic views of the city, marina and Crissy Field.

It is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States, putting it at the top of many cyclist's bucket lists. While crossing, you can gaze up at the towering beams above or look down into the deep waters of the San Francisco Strait below you as sailboats drift by in the mouth of the Bay.

Traveling along the Bridge can be cold, windy, and foggy, even in the summer, so dress appropriately. At the south end, you can purchase a souvenir at the Golden Gate Bridge Pavilion and visit the café next to the visitor center.

Restrooms are at both the north and south ends, and cyclists have toll-free access to the Bridge's sidewalks 24 hours a day. A bike ride across this extraordinary Bridge is an adventure you don't want to miss!

Battery East Road Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Battery East Road is the continuation of the well paved, two-lane bike trail that starts as Presidio Promenade from the Presidio Main Post, and is usually very busy with tourists biking and walking to the Golden Gate Bridge. It contours the former Battery East, part of the coastal defenses built in the mid 19th century to ward off intruders from the Golden Gate.

Presidio Promenade

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Newly refurbished Biking and Hiking trail with spectacular views across Crissy Field and the Bay, as well as the beaches all the way along the Bay to Fisherman's Wharf and downtown skyline. It then leads up to more viewpoints of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Panhandle bike trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Golden Gate Park's eastern extension into the city has two parallel paved trails, the southern trail is pedestrian-only, the northern is a bike trail that also is used by joggers and walkers. In 2020 an additional bike trail is painted on Fell St, parallel to the park to create more separation options.

Coastal Trail to Golden Gate Bridge

Highlight • Trail

Bikers coming off the Golden Gate Bridge Bike lane or coming up from the Presidio Promenade and Crissy Field can now safely continue South on a smooth gravel path south on the bluffs above the Pacific between the historic Battery Godfrey buildings, without going through the car tunnels under the bridge ramp.
