Cheap & Cheerful Bike Path -Van Nuys

For the average urban biker, it's tough to find a place to ride for over an hour. The parks are either too dinky to get a good work out, or you have to share the way with cars or the trails are more appropriate for mountain bikers.

I recommend the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area as the best of both worlds.(6350 Woodley Ave/NW of the intersection of the 101 & 405 Freeways) 9 miles of trails means you won't be riding in tight circles, but the trails are paved so there is no anxiety over heading in the wrong direction.

For the serious cyclists, the park is home to one of Los Angeles's two velodromes.

The park is home to the Lake Balboa Golf Course, picnic tables, playgrounds, restrooms and PLENTY of free parking so you can easily make a day of it.
