Golden Gate Bridge
Ever wonder what it feels like to bike across the Golden Gate Bridge?
I rode the Glove Live 3 across the bridge from San Francisco to Marin and back.
It was an amazing day. It's usually quite windy on the bridge, as you can hear in the video.
In fact, the headwind is very powerful at times. The wind was so loud that it almost drowned out the music blasting from the sound system sitting in my front basket.
Biking across the Golden Gate Bridge is a very popular tourist activity, but more challenging than most people expect because of the wind.
The west side of the bridge is exclusively for bicyclists, but it can be crazy with the mix of seasoned recreational cyclists speeding fast across the bridge mixed with tourists - many of whom ride like they haven't been on a bicycle in 20 years.
On this day, I witnessed an amazing sunset riding back to San Francisco across the bridge. You can also see the San Francisco skyline afar.
