Recently back from holiday staying at a mate's near Santa Monica/Venice Beach way, with a brief stint in Vegas too.
Anyway, the beachfront in LA is brilliant- everyone's out on their beach cruisers mixing it up with the rollerbladers and peds. Such an air of relaxation about it, so different from London. I'd describe the speed as normal life divided by 2. Cyclists cruise along at speeds barely pushing 8mph. Borrowed my pal's wife's commuter for a run along the beach (went around 20miles)- reckon there are a few Strava segments there for the taking; although, on a road bike you might fall foul of sand pockets on the cycle path haha.
Still, why go fast when it's 28degrees and there are lots of beautiful Californian girls to check out ;-)
