There are trails scattered around, but I never explored them. Most streets have bike lanes.
My personal suggestion if you can afford it live close to work. Commute in Bay Area sucks. I know people who commute from to from S.F. to South Bay. I think they are insane.
I've heard of people commuting from Houston to where I work (TX-LA border). That's anywhere from 90 to 140 miles each, depending on which side of Houston. That's so depressing to think about, spending 4 hours in a cage every day.
