title The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, US - 11th March 2006 intro It's the final part of a two-night stop in San Francisco - on the way back from San Diego to the UK for a few days - which involves the hiring of a bike from the Blazing Saddles outpost on Fisherman's Wharf waterfront, to cycle from there over to Sausalito across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. It's a great ride, which involves some major hill-related action, including one in Marin County that's too steep to cycle up, and also includes an incredible wind which blasts constantly across the deck of the bridge. imgp8211 Looking back at the Trans-America Building imgp8212 A Bauhaus-style concrete emplacement on the pier imgp8217 A statue in Chrissy Park imgp8221 Golden Gate bridge imgp8235 A self-timer shot of Nosher and the purple hair imgp8239 On the bridge deck, looking up at the cables imgp8245 Looking straight up one of the towers imgp8246 A plaque dedicated to the engineers and builders imgp8257 Nosher's rented bike - a Marin - in Marin County imgp8260 Nosher stands in Marin County imgp8273 A classic view of the bridge imgp8275 The remains of a gun emplacement imgp8278 Curious red stains in a concrete bunker imgp8279 An old concrete building imgp8281 More derelict structures imgp8282 The bridge looms over the fort imgp8284 A derelict corridor imgp8291 Looking through the cables to San Francisco imgp8292 Another detail view looking up the north tower imgp8302 Palm trees, buildings and joggers imgp8308 The Transamerica building, looking down Columbus imgp8309 Transamerica - old and new imgp8312 Copper-clad building imgp8314 The original Transamerica building imgp8315 A close-up view of the Transameric building imgp8316 The Canessa Printing Co. imgp8319 A Bull Durham tobacco advert imgp8322 The Powell and Hyde tram imgp8327 Gaudy lights in a shop imgp8328 A shopping plaza somewhere imgp8334 The Neimon Marcus building imgp8336 Market Street imgp8337 Market Street has a New York steam thing going on imgp8339 Downtown San Franscisco
