Start right by the beach. You’ll find bike-friendly stretches along North Atlantic Avenue and Ocean Beach Boulevard, where the views are great and the pace is relaxed. According to local posts, there’s even a dedicated bike lane in parts of the corridor. Tripadvisor+1
This makes a perfect “cruise and enjoy” ride: stop for a coffee, watch surfers, or just roll with the ocean breeze.

Tips for a Smooth Ride
- Helmets and lights are a good idea, especially if you ride near dusk.
- Beach sand can slow down “regular” bikes — fat-tire or hybrid bikes work better if you venture off the pavement.
- For e-bikes: make sure battery is full and you know how to use pedal-assist.
- Stay alert for local traffic — some roads may have bike lanes, others share lanes with cars.
- If riding along the coast, plan stops — bring water, wear sunscreen, maybe pack a light snack.
