    We were walking by and we sat down and hung out for 45 minutes or more. Peaceful and serene so welcome in the midst of a wonderful but crowded city.

    We hired bikes yesterday to ride over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. The lady at the bike shop was soo friendly and helpful and got us fitted with bikes quickly. The bikes were in great working order and were nice to ride. Handy location for pick up and drop off at Fisherman’s Wharf. Highly recommend’

    We hired 2 x e bikes from these guys. The process of hiring was easy but somewhat frustrating. A $500usd deposit had to be given at the time of booking (we were told it could not be in cash). Once we returned the bikes the cost of the rental and the insurance that we took out was deducted from the $500 and the balance is to be refunded to our card in 5-7 days! We also had 4% tax added as we paid by card and not cash, even though we asked if we could pay by cash to avoid having to leave the country effectively with money being owed to us. Common sense needs to prevail with tourists. Where are we going with a bicycle? We aren't taking it home and if insurance has been taken out such a big deposit shouldn't be required.

    Despite everything the bikes were great, highly recommend hiring e bikes as it makes the hills easier and you get much much further.

    Great experience. Good value for money. The staff are friendly and really helpful - checking the bikes are ready, at the right height, getting a helmet etc. Actually riding the bikes was so much fun, particularly going over the bridge and down the hill into Sausalito - which is such a nice, beautiful place! Would highly recommend hiring bikes and using this company.

    It is hard to pick the right place to rent bikes and we are so glad that we chose the Sports Basement! I wish I could remember who helped us because he was great. (clerk 178 from our receipt!) He made sure that our bikes were each set up perfect for each rider, explained how to operate them, and gave suggestions of where to go. We def recommend the electric bikes! Don't hesitate to get those! We rode 17 miles and wished we had more time.

    Great tour and great guide. The open Jeep was great and we got to see so many great sights. The guide was also very informative and helpful. This was a private jeep tour of Sausalito and Muir woods.

    We rented 4 bikes from the ferry building location They clearly explained how to get to Sausalito, and then we had the option, for an added charge, to leave the bikes there and ferry back. Perfect! They were friendly and convenient.

    Out of all the other e-bike tours I have been on, Dandyhorse is the best one. I love that we received an earpiece to hear the guide. The bikes are well built, powerful and the seats are comfortable. Our tour guide, John has a very pleasant voice that was very clear to understand every word he said. He was very caring and made sure that we were safe, as we rode through the streets he was giving us advance traffic/turn navigations and appropriate speed levels to use. He provided a lot of knowledge of the areas we passed or stopped at. The stop at the pastry shop was a plus. I HIGHLY recommend this e-bike tour when visiting the bay area.

    Amazing trip to Yosemite Ten Lakes!! We had the best guides Mandy and Nicolas. They were both so knowledgeable and had really high ethics in terms of backpacking and protecting the national park!! Would highly recommend

    I was given an used bike that needed some fixing up. Friends had suggested other places in the city but it would involve me pushing a flat tired bike 30 minutes. While random googling I found this place within 10 minutes walking distance! I called on a Saturday and was told they are open Sunday at noon. I pushed my bike out and waited a little as Michael helped the guy in front of me first. When it came to my turn, I told him the situation and he helped me fix up the bike. It took over an hour but with new basket, handle bars, pumped up tires, straightened wheels, it only cost me $40! This is great value considering where this place is. While Michael worked on my bike, we chatted everything from his experiences to living in the city. You do have to realize this is a non-profit, he is not doing this for money so do expect to wait. While waiting, I saw lots of people not willing to wait and left. He is able to fix bike, take bike donation and have bike rental in one small hut.

    I also inquired about mountain bike rental, which he does have. We can rent on Saturday and return on Sunday if we have an enclosed garage and he will provide locks. They are open just on the weekends now so do call before you go. Overall I am very excited to get my "new" bike!

    Dropped my bike in for new brake pads and a gear changing issue, the workshop did a great job and it feels like a new bike!

    Recommend the workshop for all repairs and maintenance.
