Bicycle Trails. "There are a number of scenic bicycle trails in
the Los Angeles area. Most of these trails are along the Pacific
oceanfront, along the various LA river beds or within several parks. The
scenery varies widely with location, season and time of day. I
occasionally bring along a camera to record some of the more interesting
sights.
