No, the Golden Gate is open. (t is patrolled but most of the patrols are out of sight. Actually on
the weekends,it is nice, they separate the pedestrians and bicyclists. Each is on their own side.
You might want to try posting the news group ba.bicycles. It is a bay area group that is very active
and seems to be very helpful. Do some searches on the web as there are several interesting areas.
Most bike shops in the area have guide books. Personally, I would get out of the city and get into
the surrounding areas, either north or south.
