South Bay Bike Trails Road and Mountain

Silicon Valley is not only a high-tech haven, but a cyclist's paradise. Avid cyclist Conrad Boisvert uses clear maps and reasonable estimates of time and distance, offering both the serious biker and the leisurely cyclist routes alongside ranchlands, through dense redwood forests, next to coastal wetlands, and near seaside resorts and beaches.
