Long Beach Bikeway Route 4: 2nd St.

Long Beach Bikeway Route 4 is perhaps our most famous Bikeway, what with all the attention to the sharrows, heavy traffic, and arguments over the best way to alleviate traffic in what must be the densest (I mean that in the nicest way) part of town. In the dozen or so rides I have done [...]

Long Beach Bikeway Route 54 : East Wardlow Road

Before I review Long Beach Bikeway Route 54 I would like to tip my hat to the City of Long Beach and all those who volunteered to organize and run the Long Beach Bike Tour. A thousand riders participated and $60,000 was raised for Miller’s Children’s Hospital. I did not ride the whole route, but [...]

Long Beach Bikeway Route 33: Studebaker Rd.

Long Beach Bikeway Route 33 is an enjoyable ride that runs parallel to both Bikeway 27 (Bellflower) and Bikeway 29 (Woodruff), but of the three, I enjoyed this route the best. There is a bit of traffic on this four lane road (two in each direction) but the entire route is well marked with wide, [...]

Long Beach Bikeway 65: San Gabriel River Trail

I ride Long Beach Bikeway Route 65 often, usually as part of loop that takes me down Long Beach Bikeway 7 (LA River), along Bikeway 2 (the beach path), up Bikeway 65 and then return home on Bikeway Route 56. However, no matter how you might end up on Bikeway 65, this is an excellent, [...]
