San Francisco has always been a city for big ideas. From tech startups and creative entrepreneurs to artists, innovators, and travelers from around the world, the city is known for turning imagination into something real.
This year, that energy continues with the Red Bull Basement World Final 2026, coming to San Francisco on June 3, 2026.
Red Bull Basement brings together first-time founders, students, creators, and innovators using technology and AI to build bold new ideas. Finalists will pitch their projects on a global stage, and San Francisco is the perfect place for it.
If you are coming to the city for Red Bull Basement, make the most of your visit by exploring San Francisco the best way possible — by bike.
Explore San Francisco While You’re Here
Between event activities, meetings, sightseeing, and networking, biking is one of the easiest and most memorable ways to experience the city.
Instead of sitting in traffic or trying to fit everything into one quick walk, you can ride along the waterfront, see famous landmarks, cross the Golden Gate Bridge, and enjoy some of the best views in the Bay Area.
At Blazing Saddles, we help visitors experience San Francisco every day with bike rentals, electric bikes, guided tours, and self-guided routes.
Whether you have a few hours or a full day, there is a ride that fits your schedule.
Bike the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito
The classic San Francisco bike ride is from Fisherman’s Wharf across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito.
Start near the waterfront and ride through Aquatic Park, Fort Mason, the Marina, Crissy Field, and the Presidio before crossing the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge. After the bridge, enjoy a scenic downhill ride into Sausalito, where you can relax by the water, grab lunch, explore the shops, and return to San Francisco by ferry.
It is one of the most iconic things to do in San Francisco and a great way to enjoy the city before or after the Red Bull Basement World Final.
The Best Bike Options for Your Visit
If you want the classic experience, our Deluxe Comfort Bike is a great choice for riding along the waterfront and across the bridge.
If you want an easier ride, especially with San Francisco’s hills, choose an Electric Bike. E-bikes are one of the most popular options for visitors because they make the ride smoother, more relaxed, and more fun.
For travelers with limited time, an electric bike is also a great way to cover more ground and see more of the city.
Guided Tours and Self-Guided Rides
If you want a local guide to lead the way, join one of our guided Golden Gate Bridge tours. Our guides will take you along the best route, share local stories, stop for photos, and help make the ride easy and fun.
If you prefer to explore at your own pace, choose a self-guided bike rental. We will provide a bike fitting, helmet, lock, map, and route orientation before you leave, so you know exactly where to go.
Both options are great for visitors in town for a conference, event, or long weekend.
Make It a Full San Francisco Day
Red Bull Basement is all about ideas, creativity, and energy — and San Francisco is one of the best cities in the world to experience that spirit.
After the event, take time to explore the city beyond the meeting room. Ride past the Bay, see the Golden Gate Bridge up close, visit Sausalito, and enjoy the views that make San Francisco unforgettable.
Whether you are here to pitch, cheer, network, or explore, a bike ride is the perfect way to add a real San Francisco adventure to your trip.
