I’m working in Lucerne once in a while. So to keep more or less on track with my training I cycle one way and the other way goes by train. Even if it’s a little mess to take the sbb with a cycle on the rush hour I have the advantage to be faster at the company from the railway station.
I’m still trying to find out the best way keeping the elevation low. Seems to be not that simple, as there are some bottlenecks regarding the road system.
Besides some parts on large roads, this proposed route seems to be an option. The cycling path (thank you veloland) around Meggen and the cycling road between Risch and Cham are fantastic!
The dark sides: The outgoing road from Lucerne as well as the surroundings in Bar/Zug are messy and noisy. The sihltal can be quite cool (even in temperature mode) if there is not too much traffic. You can just cycle as speedy gonzalez there 
I’ll probably tweak this track on some smaller part, but generally seen I could live with that one even if it takes some 10min more than the first one!
Unfortunately there are some working areas: Just before Meggen and in Fänn. Be sure to follow the orange signs “Risch” even if you are on the road “Zug/Zürich” (Usability?!?) or you’ll end in a (temporary) one way road!
