You push off from the Marina Green with salt spray in the air and the bridge rising ahead like a bright, moving gateway. Cyclists and commuters share the wide waterfront path; gulls wheel above the bay, daring you to look up while the wind tugs at your jacket. The route traces the northern edge of San Francisco—past the Palace of Fine Arts, alongside Crissy Field, then onto the dedicated bike path that spans the Golden Gate Bridge to Vista Point and down into Sausalito.
