Global icon I've always wanted to visit. Finally reached it today after leaving Canada three weeks ago by bicycle. There is a visitor center with washrooms, there are great vantage points outside to take photos, and then there is a walkway crossing under the bridge that I used with my bike to climb the Marin headlands for more views and the classic shot of the whole bridge with city behind.

The bridge crossing itself by bike was great. Warning signs before hand of the winds and recommend walking bikes but I rode anyway. There are clearly marked sides for bikes and people which was followed by majority of people on the bridge which made it very pleasant to cross

Security are present on the bridge with so many people around and I guess the chance of jumpers. They would also ensure people cleared busy areas, especially when going around the supports which are a bit blind on a bike.

Overall fantastic experience. So happy to finally see the bridge, it is beautiful and impressive, and riding over was enjoyable.
