Lauren's Locales: Blazing the City's Bike Trails

Fall is in the air and one of the most beautiful places to visit in October is San Francisco. It's easy to be a tourist in the "City by the Bay," but if you are interested in some fresh air, beautiful views and great outdoor activity then a Blazing Saddles bike tour may be the thing for you.

Take a self-guided tour along part of Fisherman's Wharf and across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge down into the waterfront city of Sausalito. The ride is perfect for riders of all skills.

After riding on the Golden Gate Bridge and coasting into Sausalito, make sure to park in one of the many "bike parking lots" and walk around the city's pleasant streets. Check out quirky boutiques, ice cream shops and local musicians playing along the sidewalk.

Before you head back, make sure to eat at one of the many seaside restaurants; each offers a unique and deliciously varied menu.

If you don't feel like making the ride out of Sausalito, then hop on the ferry and relax, while you are delivered back.
