commute DTLA to westside- route suggestions?
 

Got a meeting near Olympic and Bundy and thought I would bike it

I would love suggestions for good bike routes from DTLA.

Early afternoon, so the traffic shouldn't be piling on yet.

thanks for any suggestions

Jump on the Red line to 7th+Metro. Take Expo line to Culver City, Get off at La Cienega. Ride a couple blocks west to Balona Creek bike path. Pedal west to boardwalk (7 miles). Pedal north to Olympic, pedal or jump a bus east to Bundy. A Shorter way is to pedal from Culver city to Bundy via National blvd

dude, that was awesome. many thanks
estimation on how long would that route take?

I went to Google Maps just as a lark and ask it to give me directions from Downtown LA to Olympic and Bundy, changed it to "by bike" and this is what it came up with.

thanks, I may try that on the way back. I would like to bike all the way back.

The Metro going out is a great idea. I can reduce my sweat factor for the job :).

Slightly longer, but this is the route I usually take when gong that way. Small section on Wilshire where 8th doesn't continue that I usually just take the side walk. Used to travel from Miracle Mile area to Santa Monica daily so that is part of my route.

Nice, looks good.
Game plan on, thanks guys

Venice Blvd has a full lane bike lane from the beach all the way to downtown( a block from Staples center).

Hey guys, thanks for the route tips. Venice is a good one!
I stumbled on this site with bike route maps - lanes, paths, routes all marked.

Google maps has a bicycle layer you can turn on that gives you the same info.
