San Francisco

We cycled into San Francisco on a bright, sunny Sunday afternoon. Not the best time to be cycling the Golden Gate Bridge, it was a madhouse! All cyclists were on the westbound pedestrian walkway and all pedestrians were on the eastbound walkway. And there were lots of cyclists on that bridge. It was mayhem. There are several bike rental companies that specialize in biking the bridge. All that means is they hand a bike to any unsuspecting tourist and send them on their way to almost certain doom. Biking a bridge and then going downhill into busy traffic is serious business at the best of times. Combine that with crazy San Fransicso/Sausalito Golden Gate Bridge amounts of people, and you've got trouble. Obviously, not too many people must meet their maker on their trip across the bridge, but I'm not sure how that works. We made it across safely, but had no time or opportunity to stop and take pictures!


We had a great time in the city and here's a quick look at the place
