Since 2001, Bay City Bike Rentals and Tours has been modernizing the bike rental market in San Francisco and surrounding areas. The idea for an efficient and easy bicycle rental operation in San Francisco was the idea of husband and wife who sought to offer visitors top quality bikes for rentals and tours. The goal of the small, family-run business was to change how the rental business was run; changing the idea from a bike shack to a fun and professional storefront environment with new, high quality bikes, exceptional customer service, and quick check-out procedures. Over the years, Bay City Bike expanded to a total of three Fishermans Wharf storefronts featuring 100s of bicycles.

In addition to self guided rentals, Daily Guided Tours were later introduced, where expertly trained guides take guests from San Francisco to Sausalito. These quickly became a must-do activity among many domestic and international visitors. The guides strive to provide an excellent experience for guests, with safety and fun as the objectives of each tour. Guides retain the freedom to personalize their tours with their personality and to cater to their riders needs if riders are experienced the tour can be embellished; if riders are novice the tour can slow it down a bit. Bottom line- no two tours are alike.
