Los Angeles is not what I would call Cycling friendly. There are bike lanes down town and good ones too,(bike share coming soon) Santa Monica is fantastic for a LA Metro town. But for getting around i.e. going to work, to school, to the weed shop then the Armenian bakery, well its kinda sorta shity, I think the word is. What it does have is mountains lots of mountains, I honestly did not really think of Los Angeles as mountain city before we moved hear. Then again I don't think we researched it vary well, or I mean it at all, I knew there were strip malls and the Sunset strip (not in LA ) and Car Culture (what ever the fuck that is) These spots in Griffith park you can't get to by car. unless you work for the DWPLA or are a Park Ranger you are walking, riding a bicycle, a lovely pony, to see these spots. no bikes on the trails but the closed ''paved'' service roads get you there
