Sausalito Bike Rentals & Tours
Bike Rental · Downtown/Bridgeway
Verified September 2026
Sausalito Bike Rentals & Tours is a bike shop one block from the ferry landing, across the street from Scoma's, set up for the classic Sausalito day trip. Ride the ferry over from San Francisco, rent a bike, and pedal back across the Golden Gate Bridge. The shop rents electric bikes with pedal-assist or throttle, road bikes, mountain bikes, tandems for couples, and family adventure e-bikes. Electric bikes are the smart pick for anyone who'd rather skip the grind up to Vista Point, and they make the whole loop feel easy even for people who haven't ridden in years. Guided tours and rentals both book through the shop's online reservation system.
What To Expect
Staff will point you toward the bridge, Mill Valley, or Muir Woods depending on how much of a ride you want, and the shop lists more than fifteen destinations if you're feeling ambitious. The bridge is about two miles away, Muir Woods roughly ten, and downtown San Francisco roughly ten. Plan on about an hour to reach the bridge at a relaxed pace, longer if you stop for photos at Vista Point. Recent listings show the shop open daily, roughly 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a slightly earlier close on Fridays, but confirm before you count on a late return. E-bike rentals have run about $80 for a half day and $100 for a full day, so check current rates when you book. If you'd rather not walk over from the ferry, they'll deliver a bike straight to the landing for $10 per bike, and there's a drop-off option in San Francisco for one-way trips. Bring a light jacket, because the bridge is windy year-round, and book ahead on summer weekends when the best bikes go first.
Getting There
The shop is at 573 Bridgeway, one block from the ferry landing and directly across from Scoma's. Step off the boat, turn left onto Bridgeway, and you're there in about two minutes. Free parking is available if you're driving in, which is rare in downtown Sausalito, so use it. The ferry back to San Francisco leaves from the same landing, so plan your return ride with a bit of buffer and check the schedule before you set off.
Good To Know
The shop will deliver a bike straight to the ferry landing for $10, and has a San Francisco drop-off option that makes a one-way trip back across the bridge possible.
Our Take
Rent an e-bike, take the bridge out and back, and leave time for lunch on Bridgeway before the ferry home. Check the return ferry time first, because a rushed final mile on a Sunday afternoon spoils the whole ride.
