Be aware of several bicycle hazards in the area.

But there are some useful resources in the area.
- There's a bike/pedestrian bridge over US 101 just east of Fair Oaks.
- Wolfe has bike lanes and Duane has room for bikes. This is the
primary access from central Sunnyvale.

room for bikes. They are Persian Dr (south side of Hwy 237) and Elko Dr.

Use this route coming from the Fair Oaks light rail station:

of the station.)

because US 101 blocks the way.)

- Take the first right at Lakehaven Dr into a cul-de-sac.
