The atmosphere can be sunny one minute and then foggy the next- and that being said, it's almost always sunny and ten degrees warmer in Sausalito! Bay City Bike Rentals always recommend layers: dress comfortably enough for your bike ride but also consider the variations in the San Francisco weather. Water and sunscreen are also recommended. The bikes have rear racks and bungees to strap down any extra layers. Ponchos for rainy weather are available for purchase on site.
