Via Bicycle:

Be aware of several bicycle hazards in the area.

The freeway and expressway crossings in this area are hazardous for bicycles.
Fair Oaks Ave has no bike lanes and no room for bikes.
Tasman Drive (along the light rail line) has no bike lanes.

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.
Instead of using Tasman, roads to its north have bike lanes or room for bikes. They are Persian Dr (south side of Hwy 237) and Elko Dr.
Sunnyvale's Hetch-Hetchy bike trail parallels just north of US 101.

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

Take the Sunnyvale Creek levee south from Tasman (at the east end of the station.)
Turn left at the Hetch-Hetchy bike trail. (You can't go farther because US 101 blocks the way.)
Turn right at Hiddenlake, the first street crossing.
Take the first right at Lakehaven Dr into a cul-de-sac.
Take the bike/pedestrian bridge south over US 101.
Turn right on Ahwanee - there is no bike lane so you may prefer the sidewalk. Ride at pedestrian speed when on sidewalks.
Take the first right on San Junipero Dr
Take a quick left and right onto San Miguel Ave to go around a school.
Turn left on Duane.
Pizza Depot is on the left at the intersection with Deguigne.
