Consistently ranked among the city’s top-rated rental outfits, San Francisco Bicycle Rentals is powered by a close-knit team of native riders who have been welcoming explorers for over 15 years. From smooth cruisers to zippy e-bik...
Staff like Chris, Mike, and Morgan consistently earn praise for their friendly, helpful service, and the convenient location near the Wharf makes getting started easy. The real highlight is the flexibility with hourly rentals, a rarity that lets you cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge without committing to a full day. Many travelers call this their top San Francisco experience, and advance online reservations work smoothly with discounts available. Bike quality seems to be hit or miss. Some riders get well-maintained bikes in excellent condition, while others report issues with gears not working properly, old equipment, or e-bike batteries dying early. A few visitors mentioned late openings beyond posted hours, though staff apologized when this happened. One customer appreciated that the owner followed up after a complaint. The bikes tend to run on the larger, heavier side with limited gears, which works fine for taller riders but might not suit everyone. Despite these inconsistencies, the overall experience of biking across the bridge keeps people recommending this spot.
Such a good service We didn’t need bikes for the whole day but we found everywhere else was 2 hours or full days This company did hourly rentals which was so good as we wanted to cycle over the bridge and back and not rush We had the bikes for 3 hours and it was perfect! Thanks to Chris for all the help
