What is the best way to see the bay area? Train, subway, and bus are all fine. Or you could walk. But if you're all tuckered out and your dogs need a rest, I highly recommend hiring a Cyclopoitain cycle taxi, usually parked in the front of the Aka Renga shopping area. Besides the obvious ecological advantages, they're just plain fun. And because they move slowly, you have a great view of everything you pass, perched high up on your seat. You can either do a short tour, or just ride from point A to point B.
