"They're just a big pain," says Tom Mahoney, manager of the Winships Restaurant on Bridgeway, who loves the business they bring but hates the clutter.

"The City of Sausalito is thrilled to be hosting the Amgen Tour of California bike race for the fourth consecutive year, partnering with the Golden Gate Bridge District and the City of San Francisco in what will be an historic Stage Two of this internationally acclaimed sporting event. Join us President’s Day Weekend as the cyclists depart Sausalito and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge for the very first time. We welcome all visitors to our scenic waterfront community and promise you an unforgettable experience. "
—Mayor Amy Belser

I'll make sure not to patronize this restaurant when I roll into Sausalito.
Aw who am I kidding, I just go for the fish n' chips and ice cream anyway...
I'm glad to see so many people using bikes to enjoy San Francisco. Sausalito's Winships restaurant is the quintessential tourist trap. I don't need to read this article to stop spending my money in Sausalito, I prefer to spend my tourist $$ in the City anyway.
This is only place I eat at when I bike into Sausalito from SF.
