Cycling in LA may sound perverse, but there are great coastal bike paths between Santa Monica and Redondo Beach, and nice routes at the Orange County coastline, Griffith Park and Pasadena.

More disturbingly, the LA River route is only intended for daring cyclists who don't mind the sight of broken glass, mounds of trash and grim industrial vistas.
