He shows you a safety video and then lets you try the Segway in store. He also gives some pointers on how to ride it. This is great so to find out if you can ride a segway before paying for the rental. The Segway's come with everything you need (attach bag, map, etc). The helmet is also included in the rental. Payment: If you pay with cash you don't have to pay tax, so if you can I would bring cash Parking: We parked at the Golden Gate Park and walked over, but there's also street parking right outside (2 hr limit on weekdays I believe)

I used an online contact form and asked the specific location in GG park / or near the park , that a person goes, to rent . I got no answer. At least a week has passed. The park is huge. I'm living in Hayward. I haven't been to GG Park in years. Without specific location information, I risk not finding the rental station. I won't be driving, but rather using a bus to HAYWARD Bart, then Bart to Powell, then Muni bus to the Segway station. Without an address, and specific directions once I get off Muni , I don't know where to get off the muni at , and don't want to get lost and end up walking in a wrong direction. If I can get directions from the Segway rental employee or admin , then I would like to come. At this time Im still invested in making the journey and renting. 9/27/25. Thank you.

Now who would turn down something that is almost free?! LOCATION: Located near Fisherman's Wharf, it's easy to spot since it's at the corner and their building is lime green! The store is loaded with lots of different kinds of bikes and the workers are very friendly! Immediately upon entering the store, they will request that you sign in and fill out a waiver. BIKES: They have an abundant stock of different kinds of bikes. From comfort hybrid to electric to tandem bikes, they've got most of it! Now the prices of course vary depending on which bike you decide to bike. The group I was with were experienced bikers so it was road bikes for them, but I haven't hopped on a bike in years so I was debating between the comfort hybrid (a traditional bike) or an electric bike. After hearing that there is a slight elevation gain on the route to Golden Gate Bridge, I opted for the electric bike and was NOT disappointed whatsoever. In fact, if I had a regular bike, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the bike ride as much because I would have had to walk the bike up the several hills we encountered. If I walked up, I would have been left behind by the group or they would have had to just wait for me at the top. I know for sure I would not have had a fun experience. Prices do vary depending on the bike you rent and how long you choose to rent it. The electric bike was $65 and the road bike was $45 for full days. They have clip pedals if you need it, but I needed just regular pedals. Once you have rented your bikes, you're on your way! You have the value of the rental in store credit to use at Sports Basement (which is like an REI.) So for example, we paid $110 to rent the bikes. We got store credit for $110 to buy ANYTHING in the store. We opted for something small since we had to be able to pack it back with us home. They do ship your items for free IF you are a part of the 48 mainland US States. Since we are not, we had to lug it home ourselves. BIKE RIDE: You have the freedom to ride wherever you choose to, but don't miss out on the bridge! You can ride across it too! Keep in mind that the bridge is fairly narrow and experienced bikers ride rather quickly past you. If you're still getting accustomed to the bike, I recommend taking a short ride to get your bearings first. Fisherman's Wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge is a decent trip by itself, but I still felt a little shaky going over several bumps. Definitely something I would recommend when visiting San Francisco. Not only do you get to see and experience the bridge, you also get in some exercise! Happy biking! Would love to hear your stories of riding across the bridge!

I have a choice between 65 miles or 37 miles and I decide lower one since not sure I can handle and never done this tour ;)) Well good thing I picked the lower one since quite a few folks said 65 mile was really tough and there were some bad markings on 37 miler which a bunch of us got lost around VMWare and figured out that was the way back not towards the winery DOH!! So we all road 40 miles instead. Here are some highlights: -Lost in VMWare parking lot with 4 other folks going ok at least we were not alone -Going up Montebello Road and wondering why I'm going super slow to later realize I have a flat tire ( Ok not in such bad shape after all!) That road was super steep and sucked! -Nice man from SAG support who changed my tire super quick so I could go on my way. I owe you one! You are my hero! -Awesome view from Picchetti Ranch of Cupertino -Yummy roast beef sandwiches from Draegers and those grapes and oatmeal cookies rocked! -Way back some guy deciding to moon our group as we rode back (EWW!) Good times and hope to do again next year!

So...there comes a time in a former athlete's life when she must admit that she is old, and the…read morebody is no longer cooperative. That time would be this bike ride. My friend Monique and I decided to roll out of bed on a Sunday for a 7am start time of this 30 or 50 mile bike ride. Well, the 30 miler was billed as a beginning to intermediate ride. Folks--it was not. We hit the hills by Canada College near Woodside and OUCH--straight uphill. Knees uncooperative. Furthermore, this lovely little race was put on by the Rotary Club and claimed to be "fully supported." To that I say, "My ass!" or rather, "My knees!" Monique and I waited for a while for "support" after conquering the first set of three hills. My right knee was not in a good way. We finally gave up and rode gingerly to Robert's Market for hot chocolate. This race was a bust, and the $45 entry fee hopefully went to a good cause, because...otherwise I might be tempted to scream GIANT RIP-OFF. Oh wait, it was a giant rip off. Kids, if you want to go on a bike ride, just head to Woodside or Skyline and go biking. You'll get about the same amount of "support." God bless the Rotary Club....

Bicycling in San Francisco....this review actually centers more on the Richmond District where I…read moreused to call home. Cycling here offers major, major benefits. If you go do a little shopping on Clement St or the Citibank on Geary or Charlie, the barber on Balboa, you don't have to fight all those cars for parking spaces. Seriously when I drive to Clement St., it takes 5 minutes to get there and 10 minutes to find a space on avg. This is a even bigger deal if you have to park at a meter, which is hwy robbery in SF these days. When you ride back home, again you don't have to hunt for parking spaces on your home turf. So realistically I can ride my bike to Clement and it would take roughly the same time to get my errand done, but with less stress and zero gas fumes. And the Richmond doesn't have too many hills. There are always some way to avoid the really steep ones. For fun, there's riding through Golden Gate Park or take Cabrillo all the way down to the beach. They put a bike lane on that street, but it is so wide and so quiet, it didn't really need one. Anza and Lake St and all the numbered avenues are super safe to ride on. Just stay off Fulton St, that st. is plain dangerous. So if you have a bike and live in the Richmond, try this out. Using the bike as transportation really isn't as weird as you think.
