Hey guys. I recently went on a 3 week holiday to the US and did a lot of traveling. I started in San Francisco, and on the second day my mate and I rented bikes and went off on a ride over the Golden Gate bridge! I thought I'd share a few pics 
Riding along North Beach:
My mate posing:
The bikes were pretty censored to be honest. Basic Marin hard tails. Mine had a woman's saddle which sucked! We spent 20 minutes adjusting the handlebars/brake & gear levers etc with a multi-tool before setting off
On the bridge:
We rode into Sausalito, did touristy things and then carried on around Richardson Bay to catch the ferry back:
I think we did about 25 miles all in I managed to get sun burnt which sucked, but it set me up for the rest of the holiday

How did you find riding across the Bridge itself? I thought it was a bit unnerving at times.
"What happens when the hammer goes down, kids?"
"It stays down, Daddy."
"Exactly."
Some decent speeds descending into Sausalito too, even on a MTB.
