Fast Forward SummaryTM The Golden Gate Bridge offers 24-hour access to bikes and bike riders. Bikes are directed to the east or west sidewalk based on day and time, to avoid interferance with maintenance activities and separate pedestrians and bikes when possible. At night bike riders have to "buzz through" two security gates that are monitored by video cameras. The hours of access to each sidewalk change according to the calendar based on the schedules below.
