Mountain Bike?
I discovered an excellent low-traffic alternative to SFO from the city that uses CalTrain right-of-way OR private landfill area as a link -- great potential for acquisition for bike trail! Here are the directions from Third & Bayshore:
Immediately south(west) of the 101 overcrossing, R on Tunnel Ave. south on Tunnel past the dump and just to the east of the CalTrain tracks, until you get to the lagoon. L just before the bridge (which takes you over the tracks and back to nasty Bayshore) onto Sierra Pt. Parkway. Take the next R to continue on Sierra Pt. Pkwy. Continue south beside the beautiful lagoon until the road curves to the left to cross under 101. There, you may descend an embankment on your right and ride parallel to the CalTrain tracks until you come out at Oyster Pt. Blvd., or continue a little further and turn right on a trail that traverses landfill area, working your way on the obvious trail southward to Oyster Pt. That gets you into the industrial area north of the airport.
