County Maps Bike Paths and Closures

A city of 50 square miles with a bicycling master plan and the Great American Kid's Bike Parade, Long Beach has undergone a cvic cycling Renaissance. Whether you're an avid cyclist or a weekend beach cruiser, mixing it up and riding around in different spots besides Long Beach can be a great way to explore the rest of Los Angeles County.

The Department of Public Works has created a Google Map of bike paths all over the county maintained by its offices, Metro and the Department of Transportation. The map shows which routes are closed, the reason for the closure and lists future closures. 

In Long Beach, there has been something of a cycling Renaissance, a municipal movement that has drawn attention among enthusiasts.

In Belmont Shore and Naples, there are bikeways, including a bike route on East 2nd Street, a bike lane on Appian Way and a bike path along the beach. Of course there are the sharrows. In Long Beach there are several bikeways, including a bike path along the beach, the East Shoreline Drive bike lane and bike routes along Pacific and Chestnut avenues downtown.Long Beach has its own map of bikeways. The countywide map describes the four types of commuter bikeways listed: bike paths, those routes used for cyclists and pedestrians only; bike lanes, a marked section of street lanes dedicated to bicycles; bike routes, travel lanes shared by bikes and vehicles; bike boulevards, streets with traffic-calming enhancements to prioritize bike travel.  

You can also search the map by address or intersection and separate the different bikeways by which agency maintains them. Click here to view the interactive bike path map.
