Training Session, Bike Lane Route Info

All first time customers are required to take a 10-15 minute on board training session to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Training time is part of the overall tour time. During the busy summer season training time may be slightly longer. Riding an Electric Bike is very similar to riding a regular bike. We will train until every member of the group is comfortable with the skills needed. Training time varies with group size and skill level. Riders are trained on safe Electric Bike operation, emergency stops, and our "Share the Road" policy. All riders are required to wear a helmet. Helmets are provided.

Sidewalks and Bike Lane Usage:

All bikes are not allowed on sidewalks in San Francisco. We strongly stress that all Bike riders courteously "Share the Road" with other vehicles, bikes and pedestrians. It is the Bike rider's responsibility to yield to pedestrians. Pedestrians have the right-of way. Our routes in San Francisco and Sausalito are mainly on designated bike lanes. These bike lanes are in some places adjacent to city streets. In some places the bike lane is the full width of the city street. We are in two busy cities and will be in some high traffic areas. San Francisco has more bike lanes per square mile than any other US City. Guests will have to be aware of your surroundings and traffic. Safety is very important to us: All guests must be age 12 or older and weight at least 85 pound (37 kg). The Electric Bike weighs 70 lbs.(32 kg) If you book a tour and any of your guests do not meet the minimum age / suggested weight criteria they will not be allowed on the tour and you will not be given a refund. There a few uphill sections and a long downhill into Sausalito. You will be pedaling!
