In 2015, the Golden Gate Parks Conservancy counted more than
4.4 million bicyclists and pedestrians at three locations along the
Bay Trail in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
•
In all, the completed trail will pass through 47 cities and nine counties.
About 290 of the 350 completed trail miles are separated from road
traffic, while the remaining 60 miles or so consist of on-street bicycle/
pedestrian sections.

It is a sunny Friday morning in San
Francisco, and the city’s most distinctive
landmark is flaunting its charms. The
walkway along the 1.7-mile span of the
Golden Gate Bridge is packed with couples
strolling hand in hand, family groups
shepherding toddlers, teenagers taking
selfies, grandparents pushing strollers
and a steady stream of bikes.
