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.

The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic landmark, and a great way to experience it is by bicycling across. Cycling packages usually have guides who take their clients out of this city and over the bridge with stops along the way for photographs. You will probably end up in Sausalito and have a chance to visit Fisherman's Wharf and Aquatic Park Cove along the way.

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.

Wine lovers are in the right place when it comes to Northern California. You can take a bicycle tour of Napa, Dry Creek, Russian River and Sonoma in order to get a real feel for the abundance of vineyards that dot the region. Most excursions include lunch packages with wine tasting events. Wine stewards will be on hand to answer questions about the complexity, age, and history of their wines being sampled on any given day.

For the most adventurous, there are mountain biking excursions over Marin County and the Muir Woods. Many tour companies have packages for different levels of skill and are tailored for individual riders. There are opportunities to take multiple day rides with nights spent camping and enjoying the natural surroundings.

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.
