A push bike? Could I not skate it?

ptxptx2 commented 11 years ago

You can skate it as well but that will be quite a workout. It's about 7 miles (roughly) from pier 39 (where you can rent a bike) to Sausalito (goes through the waterfront area). It's fantastic on a nice day.

There are 3 uphills and 2 downhills that I remember -

uphill - right after Aquatic park, going from Crissy Field to the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, going from the Golden Gate Bridge up to behind Sausalito (best views of San Francisco from the other side)

downhill - right after cross the Golden Gate Bridge to get on to the road, going into Sausalito

I'm not sure how you handle those in skates. I guess you can do them on skates if you're really good - but I don't skate so can't really say.

Haha thanks for the heads up. Skate and hills and natural enemies. I'll whip out my laptop and get this mergable in the morning. It's 4am here.

BTW someone beat you to the segway

ptxptx2 commented 11 years ago

No worries. I was taking a bit of time to make sure I did not mess up forking and pull requests. I'll add more if I can think if any other suggestions.

xzyfer commented 11 years ago

No worries dude, really appreciate it.
