The Sausalito and Tiburon ferries will drop you off at either Pier 41 (right by Fisherman’s Wharf) or Pier 1, the San Francisco Ferry Building (near Justin Herman Plaza). Check the ferry schedule inside your map or on their website for a detailed list of times and drop-off locations. ### Is there a place to return the bike in Sausalito? They do not currently have a rental location on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge, so you will need to return your bike to the location where you originally started. Once you are in Sausalito, you can lock up your bike at the ferry terminal while you explore the town. Most people like to take their bikes back on the ferry to enjoy the views and fresh air, or you’re welcome to ride back if you prefer. ### What if I can't return my bike in time for closing? If you’re having too much fun out there and you don’t think you’ll make it back before Blazing Saddles closes, you may call them for instructions on how to drop off your bikes after hours.
