School Bike Routes

Points of  Interest:

• Alameda de las Pulgas has a lot of traffic and might not be comfortable for all riders.

• However, a group can easily take the far right lane so that cars change lanes to pass. 

• Alameda de las Pugas past Hillsdale is a large hill and 36th Ave. To avoid the hill, this route goes up Hillsdale.

• Hillsdale bike lane is narrow, please be aware of car doors opening into the bike lane.

Points of  Interest:

• From Pacific to Hillsdale - enter inner circle sidewalk from crosswalk on Pacific

• Use the pedestrian button at Hillsdale slip lane! (Make sure you round the corner on the sidewalk so that you can see oncoming traffic before starting across Hillsdale)

• Along El Camino Real: ride in the right hand traffic lane OR sidewalk along Barnes & Noble shopping plaza

• Laurel drop off is a mess. You can avoid it by going up 37th Ave instead, but the hill is bigger and you need to ride on Alameda for a block (or take the sidewalk). Two-stage turn across Alameda at 36th Ave.

Points of  Interest:

• Feedback from some parents is that even sidewalk riding on Hillsdale past Trader Joe's is very chaotic in the morning. 

• So we are providing an alternate route crossing El Camino Real at 31st.

• The ride to school is uphill almost the whole way - what a way to wake up and be alert for school!

This route is a little more confusing at first, but it avoids Alameda de las Pulgas for those not comfortable on that road.

Points of  Interest:

• Hilly

Points of  Interest:

Left from Bike Path to Norfolk:

• Be Careful! The bike path is bumpy with tree routes and uneven pavement.

• At Norfolk (the end of the bike path), turn left and ride on the sidewalk slowly for half a block. 

• Cross Norfolk using the crosswalk in front of Chavez Market.

Norfolk & Kehoe:

• Use a box turn using the crosswalks to turn left onto Kehoe.

• If you are an experienced rider, you can merge into traffic and turn left from Norfolk to Kehoe as a car would.

Points of  Interest:

• Amazing ride along the Bay Trail to school!

Points of  Interest:

Points of  Interest:

16th Ave and Delaware:

• Busy intersection; don't try to turn left here, turning right from the north is okay, going straight through is okay.

Alley between 14th & 15th Ave:

• Paved/private alley. A few bumps and will put you on El Camino Real at the intersection with Barenson.

• Don't merge with traffic on El Camino - USE THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK

Barneson:

• Recommended: Ride the sidewalk on the McDonald's side right to the school.
