Yes you can rent a bike and ride across the bridge from the Marina or Fisherman’s Wharf. There’s a separated bike path, and most bike rental shops will give you a map with route options. If you’re not used to biking hills, it can be a little challenging on the way up, but totally doable.

You can ride to Sausalito and ferry back, which is a super popular half-day trip. Just be mindful of wind, especially in the afternoon, and always stay in the bike lane—pedestrians and tourists love to wander into it.
