I'd like a way to bike to work w/o getting killed

The annoying thing is, I can make it to within about 2 miles on excellent bike-friendly roads and bike paths. The last 2 mile stretch has absolutely no shoulder on one side (it's right up against a soundwall), is full of parked cars and trucks and driveways for light industry & trailer parks on the other, and serves as a shortcut for when the freeway immediately parallel to it backs up (30 mph speed zone, um, notsomuch). Not very safe for cycling.

There is suposedly a bike path in the works for that area, it would be part of the trail that circles the SF Bay, but I haven't heard anything about it lately - it's probably gone the way of everything else in the latest round of CA budget cuts
