If you do a bay cruise and go under the ‘Golden Gate Bridge’ you could impress your fellow passengers by telling them the bridge is painted orange for greater visibility in the fog or ‘San Francisco Sunshine’. It was said that the bridge could never be built. The strait was too wide, the ocean too powerful and it would cost too much money. When the bridge was opened in 1937, it not only proved the critics wrong but also quickly became the proud symbol of San Francisco. When you come off the water why not cycle over the bridge to Sausalito and catch the ferry back to the city to enjoy its wonderful skyline. As you cycle be sure to visit the Golden Gate Park which is the largest man-made park in the world.
