I’ve added this to our site because people frequently fill out our contact form and ask general questions about bicycling in Los Angeles, or about a particular bike path we might not have listed, or about bike repair, or about “the best way to get from “point A to point B” and I’m simply unable to answer them all myself. I’ve tried, and we’ve failed, I’m sorry. ;(
I can still answer you, but if I can’t, then perhaps SOMEONE can below, so just post your question here as a “comment” on this post, and we’ll hope that someone from our community can answer you!
You also might find the answer here by searching the archived posts in our pre-2011 Yahoo Group.

I will be moving back over the hill to Santa Monica! But I will still need to travel to Woodland Hills a few times a week.
Anyone familiar with any good bike paths? Maybe Sepulveda pass, PCH… please help me out!
P.S. I am a novice cyclist, so the simplest route would be the most helpful. Thank you!

I am an out of towner who is hoping to get around LA for a few days on bike. Where do you suggest I rent a bike from? I’m hoping to avoid just standard beach boardwalk bikes.
Where will you be staying? It’s a big place, but i’m sure people can recommend good bike rental places – You could also see bike rental reviews on Google Maps…
Best bike route from Santa Barbara to San Diego?
I am coming heading to Long Beach for work in February. I live in the St. Louis, MO area. I am thinking about bringing my bike. Can I take the PCH from LAX to downtown Long Beach? Based on the maps I have looked at, it appears that it is possible. Since I am not from the area, I am a little concerned about possible “sketchy” neighborhoods though. Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Going to be visiting LA in April (Disney Land) and was planning to bring my bike to do some riding (by the ocean if possible). Looking for some good routes by the water for a road bike that are near Anaheim.
Thanks
Robert

Hello!
We are traveling down the coast from Watsonville, California to Malibu on our bicycles in July and will arrive at Malibu Bluffs State Park on July 12. Some of us want to continue from there to Redondo Beach. Can you give us directions from Malibu Bluffs to the access point of the South Bay bike trail in Santa Monica? Or is there another bike trail closer to the Bluffs that will give us access to the South Bay bike trail?
Thank you!

You can pick up the beach bike path in the parking lot of will Rogers state beach, and take that to Venice pier. The path ends a few meters after the pier, so you’ll need to take a left on Washington blvd, travel approximately a mile. Just before Oxford st you will see Marvin braude bike path on your right. This path snakes around the marina and rejoins you with the coastal path that goes all the way to redondo.
Hey there bike peeps,

Thank you,

On the evening of April 17th, I was riding along the Orange Line bike Path. Just west of Fulton (LAVC) a tree had fallen over and blocked the entire bike path – east bound, west bound, and the pedestrian path. The only way around was to dismount and wade through the shrubbery on the side. I called 311 the next day to report the tree and the operator refused to do anything because she said that she needed a street name. Orange Line bike path wouldn’t go in the computer. Is there a formal name for the Orange Line bike path? Thanks
I’m moving to So. CA, I will work in Glendale CA, but may find an apt. in Silver lake, I would like commuting to work by bike, Is there a bike trail or not a busy street from Silver lake to Glendale?
Thanks,
Hey there, I live in Long Beach & am looking for a cool campground destination somewhere near the inland end of the bike path. Has anyone camped up there?
I have a couple kids that could probably handle riding a ways up river from LBC, but I don’t think we could make it home. I like the idea of packing our stuff for an overnighter. does anyone have any thoughts on this?
thanks

People! I need help.
On wednesday I am planning to go from LB to Los Angeles biking, of course.. But after several researches, I did not see any bike path that tahkes you to Downtown LA from LB? Is it that true or I just don’t find it?
Thanks a lot!
Santi, You can take the Los Angeles River path from Long Beach north. At Imperial Highway, cross to the other side and continue. The path ends at Atlantic Blvd, so from there you’ll have to ride on surface streets.
Hello,
I am planning to bike along the trail along Fwy 605. Where can I access to these, or to park my car?
thanks,

This might be a silly question but are motorized scooters or mopeds allowed on these pathways? Just purchased one and I would like to know if I can ride it on these pathways.
I don’t think so, but i’m not sure.
No Heldin, no type of motorized bikes or mopeds are allowed on the “Bicycle Path” I’ve seen motorized skateboards but do not bring a motorcycle of any type to the party. Too fast too dangerous.
Hello all, i just purchased a dahom folding bike.. Loving it. Question please. I live in pasadena and commute to van nuys nxt to the GA airport. Would like to ride a couplle of times a week. Would welcome suggestions about how i might acccomplish this.
The City of Long Beach has updated the bike program website: http://www.bikelongbeach.org to include regional bike events, bike rides and access to safety and cycling information. Sign up for its quarterly news brief, The Chain Letter.
I am going to start commuting by bicycle from LA Union Station to Alcoa Ave in Vernon. I see what Google Maps gives me for their bike info but was wondering if it’s possible to follow the LA River this far south or if this is even a “safe” ride? Can someone help me out. Am new to LA region.
Thanks so much!
I’m a novice biker and have just started taking the bus and biking to work. i ride all the way home but keep taking heavily trafficed streets or getting behind smelly buses. Any suggestions about the best route from Los Felix to Pico-Robertson area by bike? I’ve discovered Fountain has a cycling lane and there are lots of easy riding streets through Hancock. It’s the Los Felix/Hollywood area that has me stumped.
