Bikes and the bike path

Lots of really nice bikes on the bike path down here. Fat tired beach cruiser, uber chic big bucks titanium rockets, rusty old retro one speeds, mountain bikes, 21 speed racers, bikes encased in a plastic wedge shape to avoid wind resistance, bikes you practically lay on your back to ride with your feet facing forward (I'd like to try on of these) every kind of bike by one kind....Larry and Susans bikes. We ran out of time trying to find and fit a rack on the back of the Wrangler and rather than leave a day late we decided to go without them. Bad mistake. The bike path is right out front and runs south through Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and ends a mile past Redondo Beach. Going north from here you pass through Playa Del Rey, Marina Del Rey, by LAX, Venice, the Santa Monica pier and it finally stops before you head north to Malibu. I think it is about a 12 or 13 mile ride in total. But it is very flat and almost all of it is on a concrete path over the sand. Riding into the wind, if there is any, is about the only difficulty you may face other than you tend to gawk at things along the way and have to be careful to watch out that you don't run off into the sand or crash into someone cutting across the path. During the summer months there is the danger of bikini watching while you ride....not so much during the winter months.
You also see some roller bladers, and skateboards rolling along. We used to see some little electric and gas scooters crusing along but not this year...maybe they have been banned. My favorite sight so far was a girl pedaling her bike briskly along with a rope tied to her bike seat towing her boyfriend on his skateboard. He was slaloming along, back and forth, behind her.
