The San Francisco Bike Hut

Check out our new bay area bike camping resource page!

Contact us at TheBikeHut AT gmail DOT com.

We are open 10am to 6pm Wednesday through Sunday; closed Mondays, Tuesdays and very rainy days.

The Bike Hut is run by the Bike Hut Foundation, a non-profit 501(c3) organization. Our mission is to promote cycling through youth training and providing affordable bike rental, repair and sales. We also try to recycle donated bikes and parts to reduce the waste stream.

We have mostly hybrid and mountain bikes for rent, but we also have some tandems, cruisers, tag-a-long, kids’ bikes and others.

Rentals are:

$6 per hour or $22 per day for adult bikes

$11 per hour or $36 per day for tandems

$4 per hour for tag-a-longs

$3 per hour for kids’ bikes

We do not have fixed gear or high-end road bikes at this time. We do have one baby seat and one Burley trailer- please email or call ahead to give us time to set up either on an appropriate bike.

Rates include lock and helmet but not 8.5% tax. We do offer significant discounts on multi-day and long-term rentals. Bikes must be stored indoors at night, so check with your hotel, et al., beforehand. Day rentals are for up to 24 hours.

Reservations are helpful but not required. Please email us at TheBikeHut@gmail.com with details of number in party and approximate heights and we will try to have the most appropriate bikes ready for you.

We are located at Pier 40, near AT&T Ballpark (home of the ‘world’ champion Giants), at Townsend and the Embarcadero. We are NOT near Pier 39 or Fisherman’s Wharf. [Even numbered piers are south of the Ferry Building (Market Street); odd to the north.]

The west side of the Golden Gate Bridge is currently closed to bicycles. Cyclists must share the east side with pedestrians until the end of March. Allow extra time to get to Sausalito and please be careful of/respectful to the understandably in-awe or in-a-daze pedestrians on the bridge. The Sausalito ferry is about $10.50, one-way.

The ferries do fill up, so try to get there early. The ferries dock in San Francisco at either the Ferry Building (about a mile away from the Hut) or Pier 41 (near Fisherman’s Wharf, about two miles away from the Hut), so it is best if you take whichever one leaves next.

Linked below are maps and directions for two popular routes:

Bike Hut to Sausalito Ferry bicycle directions (about 11 miles)

Bike Hut to Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, The Haight, City Hall loop bicycle directions (about 17 miles)

We will be open on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30th from 10am to 6pm.

The Bike Hut offers rentals, repairs and youth training on Pier 40
in San Francisco’s South Beach (Embarcadero at Townsend) near AT&T Ballpark.

RENTALS: We rent mountain and hybrid bikes for $6 per hour or $22 per day-
Helmet, lock and a good map included.
Also available for rent- Tandem cruiser ($11/33),
or Alley Cat and kids’ bikes ($3 per hour).
We can also provide long term rentals and repurchase agreements for people
who are in SF for a month or two.

STOLEN BIKE? If you are a member of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and your
bike has been stolen, we will lend you a bike for free for up to a week
if you show us your SFBC membership card and a copy of the police report.

REPAIRS: We repair bikes, not just try to sell you new parts.
And, we’ll show you how to do it yourself.
Tune-ups average about $45, depending on condition.

SALES: We stock new and used parts and accessories at reasonable prices -
locks, lights, gloves, saddles, bells, tires, tubes, pedals, helmets.
We also have a wide variety of used parts and the patience to get you what you need.

We are a resource for local cyclists and a center for skills training for kids
from low-income communities. Staffed with a shop mentor, mechanics and volunteers,
the Bike Hut is a place to rent bikes, learn to build and repair them, and buy parts and accessories.
Whether you want to rent a bike for a ride on the Embarcadero, pick up some new gear,
or just learn more about bikes, stop by the Bike Hut.

The Bike Hut is open from 10 AM to 6 PM Wednesday through Sunday
(unless it’s raining hard). The Bike Hut is closed Monday and Tuesday.
