A surrey is a four-wheeled, pedal-powered “carriage” and the perfect choice for families, groups of friends, or couples seeking a fun and unique way to explore San Francisco’s iconic parks. Parkwide features either 2 or 4-seater models. The old-timey vehicles have a vintage canopy cover and sweet benches so folks can pedal together sitting side by side.
For any of our 3 locations, we feature a one-hour loop to take you past breathtaking landmarks. In Golden Gate Park you’ll pass the California Academy of Sciences, Conservatory of Flowers, Stow Lake, and the serene Japanese Tea Garden. From the Marina Waterfront, the dedicated Bay Trail bikeway hugs the shoreline with ample, ongoing views of the Golden Gate Bridge nestled on your horizon. Choose from 1 to 2-hour pre-designated rides that are veritably quad-friendly. We always include a map so it’s easy to follow along!
ABOUT: Parkwide Bike and Surrey Rentals is the official San Francisco vendor for surrey bike rentals inside San Francisco’s City parks.
INCLUSIONS: Helmet, lock, front handlebar bag, map, and map holder.
DURATION: Plan your ride around your schedule. Most surrey rides are 1-2 hours, depending upon the route you choose.
SKILL LEVEL: Surreys are perfect for all ages!
The Surrey “bike” was invented in the mid-19th century in England. After England, they were largely produced in Italy. Accordingly, surreys were originally made of wood and used for slow, leisurely rides. Their features, besides always being a quadricycle, are open-air bench seating (think: golf cart), with each passenger seated in front of a set of pedals. Although they find themselves in the bicycle category, they do not operate like one but rather as their own thing. Surreys are not made to ride uphill. As they move slowly they are safe to seat smaller toddler age children in the front basket to see the sights as their adults do the pedaling!
You’ll see the Golden Gate Bridge, the Japanese Tea Garden, and even a few of our favorite breweries along the way.

All riders are required to sign a liability waiver (parents or guardian sign for ages under 18). If you book online you will be sent an electronic waiver to complete in advance, if you do not have a reservation then you will complete the waiver when you check in for your rental.
We are very family friendly! We provide equipment for all ages 6 months and older!
We have a fleet of 100s of bikes, including city and electric bikes, kids equipment, and tandems. Most have either a two hour or a day long rental rate to choose from.
Parkwide is the only San Francisco company to also feature 2 or 4- person Surreys. Surreys operate differently than a regular bike and are perfect for Parkwide’s locations, exclusively held within SF Park spaces (Golden Gate Park and the Marina waterfront). Surreys rent for one hour at a time for rides on our pre-established routes.
With our one-way drop program riders can easily explore one neighborhood and drop off at another, for a fee. We also offer a drop-off in Sausalito for a fee (depending on availability). Kindly inquire with our rental attendants for more information about one-way drops and fees at the start of your rental.
