We got brave and decided to rent bikes and bike
across the Golden Gate Bridge. We had never rented a tandem bike so we thought we were extra brave. It is great couples therapy as good communication makes for a much more enjoyable ride.
I rode on the bike with former All-
Camarillo Biker man in the front. He was a stud! Some of the hills I would have walked he refused and we kept right on peddling.
It was awesome on the bridge! A little windy but very cool. It is such a different experience riding on the bridge versus riding in a car. I highly
recommend it! A slightly disturbing sight were the crisis
counseling signs. A little fact I learned that since it was opened in
the 1930's over 1,000 people have committed
suicide on the bridge.
The ride back was mostly downhill so we made record time. I was a little nervous with no braking power and McKay's desire for speed but I survived. Besides having very sore rear ends from the bike seats (the padding was about as think as a sheet of toilet paper) it was well worth it! We just got reminded how much fun we had every time we sat down.

pegged-legged pants. We definitely saw some interesting styles in San Fran.

My brother Christian gets to see the bridge from his kitchen window every day! SO fun!
That is so great that you rented bikes. I have always wanted to rent some. I can totally see McKay not wanting to stop :) If pegged legs ever come back, I will be out of style, for sure! :)
Love it...the helmets, the bikes, the pegged pants and all.
FUN! Don't know that I will ever ride a bike across the bridge but glad that you did!
