Exciting Bike Rental And Tours San Francisco Visitors Enjoy Every Year

By Ryan King


Northern California is full of places to see and things to do. It has extraordinary natural beauty, and the people who live there are as different and unique as their surroundings. If you are planning a visit to this part of the state, you might want to consider the bike rental and tours San Francisco visitors recommend. Bicycle tours are not for everyone. You may have to go into training to fully appreciate all these excursions offer.

You will probably want to spend a lot of time researching the different tour packages available before you book one. They will vary in price, duration, and complexity, and you should know what you are getting into before you commit to such a rigorous vacation. If architecture and history interest you, you might want to consider a bicycle journey into the streets of the city. Most of the excursions last from four to five hours.

If this is your first time visiting the city, you will naturally expect to see one of the most famous bridges in the world, the Golden Gate. Riding over it on a bicycle is a great way to really appreciate the fantastic panoramic views. Your guide may take you out of the city, over the bridge, and into Sausalito with stops for photo opportunities. Visiting Aquatic Park Cove and Fisherman's Wharf should definitely be on your agenda.

You might also be interested in visiting one of the most infamous prisons in the world. Although Alcatraz no longer houses prisoners, it is still an imposing presence surrounded by water and isolated on its own island. You can pack your bicycle on the ferry over, and after the audio tour, cross back and enjoy an afternoon sampling beers at some breweries and quaint bars and cafes located in the area.

Northern California is wine country, and for lovers of fermented grapes, companies offer a number of tours that encompass several different wineries in the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Dry Creek, or Russian River. There will be guides available to lead the full day excursions. Visitors can expect to have gourmet lunches, multiple complimentary wine tasting opportunities, and an explanation of exactly what makes each vineyard unique.

There are mountain biking trips for the most adventurous and athletic. You can explore Muir Woods and Marin County for a day trip or a two or three day event that includes camping and meals over an open fire. A lot of the companies that offer these kinds of packages tailor them to the skill level of their clients.

One great idea for those who may not be as athletic as others, but still want to experience the fun of cycling tours, is to book an electric bicycle excursion. You can go anywhere you would go on a traditional bicycle, but have the advantage of a motor attached to help you up the hills.

Northern California is a unique region of the United States. One of the best ways to fully appreciate its astounding beauty is on a bicycle tour.
