Sightseeing San Francisco Hire a Bike

Sightseeing San Francisco Hire a Bike 

For travelers looking for holiday to San Francisco, one of the things you should ask yourself is whether you are a sufficient bike rider. Unlike other cities in America, the San Francisco Bay Area is teeming with cyclists and their bikes. It is an overwhelmingly bike-friendly city and has the illusion of being one giant velodrome. Luckily, this means that the tourist has options for bike rentals that will allow you to navigate hills or take a tour to a nearby national forest reserve.

Best advice: do not wait to rent 

While there are many bike shops that rent in San Francisco, one problem that tourists can have is expecting to walk in and find a bike available. If you need a specific bike (for example; you are very tall and need a large framed bike), your chances are slim that they will have one waiting for you the day you decide to show up. For this reason, most of the bike rental shops in San Francisco allow you to reserve an exact bike, in advance, online. Interestingly, most rental unit bike shops will offer customers a percentage discount for making an online reservation.

Expand your bike rental expectations 

Are you worried that you will show up in San Francisco and be forced to spend your entire holiday touring on a heavy steel bike? While antiquated models are available, you will soon learn that San Francisco’s rental bikes are exceptional at large. This means that your bike has been serviced by knowledgeable mechanics. Another advantage of renting bikes in San Francisco is the commonality of bikes. This translates into a reality where you are highly likely to be cruising with reputable brands of tyres and frames. 

Affordable prices and unbeatable benefits

 Due to the large amount of competition, you will be overjoyed when you see the prices that are available to tourists. In general, the prices start at $25 – $70 per day for adults (with some offering hourly rates). The list of bikes that you will be able to access include comfort, mountain, road, professional, ergonomic, and a range of bikes for minors. In addition, most bike rental companies let you borrow a bike map, helmet, handlebar bag, locks, safety lights, and rear racks with bungee cords. 

Children accommodated in bike rentals

 Bikes are welcome on all forms of public transportation in San Francisco (with few exceptions) and so are your accompanying children. Along with all the various sizes of bikes for minors, there are also a variety of child safe trailers, ‘tag-alongs’ for kids, and bike ‘car seats.’ Since there are a multitude of bike lanes throughout the city, you may find that biking in San Francisco with children is safer than in most U.K. cities.

Final advice on San Francisco bike rentals

 Naturally, before you get to San Francisco, you should make sure you know where to find bicycle shops that rent out their bicycles. Furthermore, allow the shop workers to show you where the ‘wiggles’ are on the bike map of San Francisco. If you dislike climbing steep hills on the bike, the ‘wiggle’ will guide you to flatter bike lanes.

Lanzarote’s top historical attractions

Lanzarote’s top historical attractions As the oldest of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote has a long, rich history that began 22 million years ago, when the isle was created by volcanic activity. That’s why I think discovering some of the local historical attractions is an absolute must on holidays here. What most charms me about Lanzarote’s historical sites is that they’re really varied. On the one hand, you’ve got castles and museums, while on the other you’ve got awe-inspiring, almost unearthly landscapes that tell the story of the island’s origin and formation. Cesar Manrique In my mind, one of the most important historical attractions in Lanzarote has to be the house of Cesar Manrique, which was built back in 1968. There are several reasons for this – firstly because Manrique is easily among the island’s most famous former residents, having been born here in 1919. In fact, by visiting his house today, you can view some of his works, as well as those by artists like Jo...
