San Mateo
A beautiful paved walk adjacent to the San Francisco Bay. On a clear day you can see the skylines of both San Francisco and Oakland. There's also some fun wildlife to spot, and a playground for the kids. Count how many planes perform overwater landings at SFO! Ride your bike north to Coyote Park, or south to Foster City and beyond. To get there faster on foot or bike, take the shortcut along the creek.

Sundries
About a 7 minute drive from the house, but definitely bikeable. A local fave. It's 100% cool, but be smart and don't leave anything of value visible in your car. Supercharge your Tesla here too.
