I can recall having to stand up on the bus to Newport Beach, as it was typically filled with high school students. But what I really miss about the area was the dedicated off road bike lanes. After moving to the suburbs of Seattle, I rode my bike to work one day, and swore I would never ride a bike again here. The roads are wet with rain, the bike paths tend towards interaction with vehicles, and the drivers are not aware of bikes. Back when I went to UCI the students used the bus system.

I’m not the only person cycling in this city. For more on cycling in LA there is a host of resources. There’s the Los Angeles County Bike Coalition for example, the Bike Kitchen, the Midnight Ridazzz, and many more activities and associations. There are maps of cycle routes and cycle lanes on the LACBC site too, as well as recreational bike paths.
