San Jose - Biking

While cycling is more restricted in this highly developed urban area, there are a few accessible tracks to consider on sunny days. The Monte Bello Open Space Preserve manages 16 preserve areas that allow biking - try the beautiful Purisima Creek Redwoods area, which offers picturesque rides through the mountains. For less strenuous trails, try Baylands Preserve or other parks in the flat areas near the shore of San Francisco Bay.
