My son and I rented electric bikes to ride across the Golden Gate Bridge and everyone here was amazing. It really made the ride an amazing experience. Would rent from them again 1000 times. Top notch all around

Blazing Saddles have their business down to a fine art. I'm a return customer having used them 14 years ago and biked the bridge to Sausalito. This time I wanted to go further to Tiburon and catch the ferry back - which I did. I ordered my city bike online and saved 20%.The front tyre was almost bald which was a bit concerning so I had to rely on the back brake mostly as that tyre still had a tread. Given the number of bike mechanics in the shop I don't know how this can be overlooked - it is a safety hazard. At one stage when using a high gear the chain came off the derailleur but I managed to get it back on. Obviously the bikes are high use but they could be maintained a little better than this. That is the minus 1 star.Staff are friendly and you get the obligatory clapping and cheeringon your return. If you have a clipper card DO NOT buy the ferry tickets they offer you with your bike for $14USD. Fare from Tiburon was only $7.75USD - quite a difference.

So glad we came to Blazing Saddles to rent bikes and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge! We walked in without an appointment but barely had to wait for service. The staff were nice and adjusted our bikes after a test ride in the store. We also got free helmet rentals. It was convenient receiving ferry tickets that you could decide to use from Sausalito if you needed. Our comfort model bikes rode well and the bike bag was helpful.

Bikes are in more or less good condition. Staff was friendly but it seemed that not all of them know the same infos. CAUTION: Deposit of 100 USD per bike. Check and ask them when you get it back and that they do not charge you extra without your knowledge! The bike tour over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito was our highlight. Back by ferry ist recommended. They give you the ferry tickets (14 USD per Pax) and you pay it after the ride. Check the ferry timetable well!!

Firstly I have to mention Mikey. What a fabulously warm welcome from him!! He greeted us with a huge smile and was so helpful. Next was the equally fabulous Orla who took us in an informative and guided route across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. She was fantastic , teamed with Raz who looked after our bikes while we explored. We were then left to make use of the bikes for the rest of the day. I would definitely recommend e-bikes unless you are keen to give your legs a good workout

This is the second time I rented bikes from Blazing Saddles and I had great experience. They fitted the bikes for us very quickly and expertly, gave us ferry tickets if we wanted to come back from Sausalito by a ferry which saved us some hassle. Service was very nice and we even got a great recommendation of a restaurant for dinner from Weronika and Natalia. ?

We had a great experience with Blazing Saddles both on our initial contact and on the day of the ride. I had contacted them by email with several questions and they replied promptly, allowing me to plan and schedule a fantastic ride. We picked up the bikes at 8am, rode across the bridge, locked up the bikes at the Joinery, then took a shuttle up to Muir Woods! After touring Muir Woods, we returned to the Joinery and then biked back across the bridge. The e-bikes were great for this ride, especially on the return up the hill to the bridge. What a great day!

Amazing experience! Booked the two hour E-bike option across the Golden Gate Bridge. Absolutely breathtaking ride of a lifetime, bucket list moment. The staff at Blazing Saddles were friendly and helpful. The bike given to me was in excellent condition. Highly recommend. Thank you!

A must if you are visiting San Francisco! How can you not cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge!! Blazing Saddles seem to be the biggest around the area, and we rented from one just up from the Street Cable Car. We went for the Deluxe Comfort Bike (my wife and I, plus kids aged 19 and 17) - the additional cost of the electric bikes in my opinion is not worth it, and the terrain is not difficult, so use pedal power :). Cycled over for lunch at Sausalito - they recommend the Joinery, and I would agree - great spot for lunch, friendly staff with good food! Don’t take the ferry back - the hill just before the bridge on the way back is not that bad if in low gear and once at the top its downhill the rest of the way. Great experience and the only reason for 4 stars is the bikes are well used (as would be expected) and the gears on three of the bikes needed indexed i.e adjusted to change smoothly!

We took the Golden Gate Bridge tour from The Hyde Street branch and our guide was Max. Max was amazing and really knowledgable. The weather wasn’t in our favour but it was a great trip. All the staff at Blazing Saddles Bike Hire were really helpful and professional.We rented bikes from them again later in the holiday. Thanks for a great experience Blazing Saddles ??

I but reserve it online so it was only $32 instead of $40 per bike and everything was pretty good schedule and smooth, no issues at all. (the recommended restaurant wasn’t my taste but that’s just personal) At the restaurant they had somebody to park your bike, which was awesome. We didn’t use the ferry tickets, so we ended up walking our bike up the hill for a bit next to the street but it wasn’t a problem at all.

A highlight of the trip! They offer e-bikes for 2 hours and it took us about 1hr 15min to cross Golden Gate and come back while not feeling rushed. The service was way helpful and the price is about the same as everywhere else around.Plus they give you tickets for the ferry and refund them if you don’t use them (we didn’t). Pretty good deal!

We chose Blazing Saddles because their online booking system was simple and we could purchase the return ferry tickets at the same time.On arrival, the collection process was straightforward and welcoming.We think that the bikes were of good quality and well maintained, no shake or rattles, only roll!The return process was vg too.We would definitely use B S again!
