We rented good GIANT City Bikes and "experienced" part of the great 22 Miles bike path from Malibu to Redondo Beach! The weather and the whole atmosphere on the beach were amazing.

Relaxed tour along the Pacific coast. From Topanga Canyon to Venice. One of my friends was a bit slow, so the rest of us did the round trip twice. We had delicious pier burgers at the Santa Monica Pier
