One of the best ways to see San Francisco is on a bicycle, not only do you get to enjoy the sun and fresh air, but you get to see the sights at a leisurely pace and everything in between. There are many different places to rent a bike for the day. I rented mine at Bay City Bike for about $30 for the day. The map out popular routes which makes it easy to explore the city. One of the most popular routes is riding along the coastline to the Golden Gate Bridge and then over the bridge and into Sausilito. From there you can catch a ferry back to Fisherman's Wharf. The ride itself is about 3 to 4 hours and is a very easy ride not matter what your expertise is.
