Please note: These routes can help get you started. As you bike to campus, you will undoubtedly discover your own preferred tricks and side streets. You can also view a map of city-wide bike routes (which includes the bike lanes and paths that connect to these routes) at http://www.sfbike.org/maps Previewing your ride on this map is recommended! Another important resource is talking to your fellow cyclists about the routes they take. Ask other SFSU riders how they get to school; you’ll find a route that is right for your comfort and speed.
