Getting to SFO by Bicycle

To gain access to the airport via bicycle, BART and SamTrans offer a convenient bike/transit option that is safe and environmentally friendly. Bicyclists choosing to access the airport via the roadways must comply with applicable California Vehicle Code (CVC) Laws related to Bicycle Use. Bicycles are prohibited from operating on the main inbound and outbound airport roadways (R1), however, North and South McDonnell Road offer good bicycle access with a marked route into the airport beginning at San Bruno Avenue from the north, and Millbrae Avenue from the south. In the interest of public safety, bicycle riding is also prohibited on the AirTrain system and inside terminal buildings and garages. (SFPD, Airport Bureau Law Enforcement, members excepted during the course of their official duties).
