“I am aiming for a Sochi and Glasgow double,” Pickering told BBC Sport.
“I have never done a Commonwealth Games and, having missed the London Olympics, it will be a good chance to compete at a home major championships.”
He added: “Long-term it would be a massive achievement if I could reach Rio and then [Pyeongchang] 2018 – it’s certainly something I’m looking to do.”
The Beijing Olympic sprinter, who missed London 2012 after requiring back surgery, external at the beginning of last year, is targeting a return to the track at the Loughborough International meet next week.
The former 60m European silver medallist finished 19th in two-man bobsleigh alongside John Jackson in January’s World Championships.
He feels continuing with a full summer season of athletics will in fact aid his bobsleigh training and believes that with the right preparations he can help the team win an Olympic medal in Sochi next year.
“The main reason for being in the two-man was to learn a bit about the sport without the pressure of being in the four-man,” said Pickering.
