- Los Angeles is rubbish for bike riding isn't it? It's nothing but sprawling suburbs and gridlocked traffic right? But if that's the case, why have so many established pro cyclists and athletes headed to the canyons of Hollywood for off season training camps? Jeremy checked out the local cycling scene to find out more.

Jeremy is such a natural presenter. It's like he's been doing this gig for decades. This channel has really upped the game, on what was already the best.
He had his own "show" for a few years "Behind the Barriers"
One of the early seasons of Behind the Barriers had some of the many, many outtakes from his first show. He's gotten way better.
Loving the way GCN is showcasing the worlds cycling 🚴♀️
Tuscany next??? We got it all! 🏖🏛⛰🍷🍕 😀
I for one am waiting for J. Pow to hit Santa Cruz!
Let's have NYC, Denver, Chicago!
I live in the Inland Empire of California, home of the Redlands Classic. Much great riding here. You can ride to an elevation of over 8400 feet or lightly traveled desert roads. A ride to the Orange County beaches along the Santa Ana river trail is nice. If you don’t want to ride back there’s always the metrolink train which allows bikes.
I also live in the Inland Empire, Riverside. There is such great riding here.
Rancho cucamonga here..love riding the mountains, Azusa Canyon, GMR, Mt baldy (climb of the Amgen tour of california) san gabriel river trail is also nice going towards long beach. Also the local challenging group ride routes in Claremont and San dimas. Redlands has redland crit practice and rain cross rides. Lots of good riding in socal.
Riverside has great cycling from what I've been experiencing right now. Great routes and the SART is amazing
You IE guys also have beautiful Big Bear and further east Joshua Tree and Palm Springs.
Judging by GTA 5, there are a lot of places, where you can ride your bike, so no excuses!!😂😂
Ahh,mountain biking up mount chilliad,good ol days....
la is a lot more spread out then gat makes it to be lol, o wish I could ride 20 miles from san Bernardino to Santa Monica
Would love to see more cycling cities (USA and beyond) Colorado, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, NYC etc.
I second this idea. So many cities have lots of great riding to be had.
Me too. And if Jeremy needs an old, misanthropic, slow cycling buddy I will pay my own air fare!
I grew up 20 miles east of LA. In the 70s, we’d ride our steel 10-speeds with toe clips to Glendora, up Glendora Mountain Road, to Glendora Ridge Road and up towards Mount Baldy. We weren’t serious cyclists, so we never made it all the way to the lifts, but if you want a climb in LA, sky’s the limit!
Don't forget about Angeles Crest, San Gabriel Canyon rd, Glendora Ridge/Mtn Rd, and Mt Baldy!
It just gets better!! we are so lucky in LA to have so many versatile routes for riding Mtn or road. Wow!
Jeremey Powers' new Seinfeld-esque show, Cyclists on bikes getting coffee!
PBS had a short series called mobile cyclists which was pretty much that idea. Visiting local cycling communities and breweries.
way ahead of you, Sigma Sports has a Cafe Rides series with the one and only Matt Stevens, check them out, they're really cool!
That's a fantastic idea!!!!
I'm not wanting to lose Jeremey from GCN - keep on keeping on bro
People should check out Path Less Pedaled. They are currently doing some riding in LA (and are a great channel that deserves peoples views IMO!).
grandad1982 it is a awesome channel
When I moved to L.A. from Idaho 30 years ago I was encouraged by the fact that where I lived in the San Fernando Valley I could ride over Topanga Canyon to the ocean and PCH. I did this several times. Being a roadie I stayed off the dirt. Riding along PCH was a bit scary heading south for a guy used to the wide open spaces. Then I developed a routine of parking along the street where the old Getty Museum is and biking along the beach paths to Redondo Beach. Then I moved to Santa Barbara for 7 years and the cycling there was very much to my pleasing, Santa Ynez valley to the north is well known. Then I moved to Simi Valley for a few years up where the Reagan library is. I rode into the Santa Monica Mtns area and even into where I worked in the San Fernando Valley (20 miles one way) and all over the back roads of Ventura Co. up into Ojai. Moving to Orange County now I am right along the Santa Ana River trail so can hop on that and go up river (which I rarely do) or down to the beach and either along PCH and roads and trails all the way to Long Beach or south along PCH for as long as I want over nice rollers, chose a route up the Back Bay to home for variety.
Lol I always hear about Californians leaving California for Idaho. But you're the first I know who moved from Idaho to California
You just described my all the places I've ridden and continue to ride. Grew up in Chatsworth.
@@pingpongballz5998 I took a job that turned into a career I am now retired from. I should go back. I have a family member there and heirlooms in storage. Some say the state got it's name from California dreamers saying to themselves " I'd a whole lot rather be someplace else". Actually, that's original with me when freezing to death in winter or dying of heat or starving for lack of work there.
That's my favorite Santa Ana River and San Gabriel river trail they are the best!!
@@budaflash me too, love all those places. grew up in Hollywood.
Some of my favorites and fondest memories I've ridden on, are: Stunt Rd, Piuma Rd, Tuna Canyon, Old Topanga Canyon (Although, I wouldn't recommend climbing it from the PCH Hwy side), Tuna Canyon, Mandeville Canyon Rd and Fire Rd, Sullivan Canyon Trail, Latigo Canyon. On the north end: Santa Suzana Pass (a quick punchy climb that takes you into Simi Valley), Little Tajunga, Big Tajunga, Los Angeles Crest Forest Hwy.
i grew up and live in Chatsworth. You just mentioned all the best!! the best part is you can also do these climbs on mtn bike trails!!
This is such a awesome video! I really enjoyed watching this! Please GCN more content like this 👌🏾👌🏾
There's a cool little climb that made me fall in love with climbing when I was a teen riding road all over LA called Turnbull Canyon Rd. outside of Whittier, where I grew up. Not long but not super easy. Just a good, solid climb.
I grew up in Whittier. Got massive calves from riding in Friendly Hills
Usually, I’ve found, people who say LA sucks for cycling are generally from people who don’t live here... Here’s the biggest example why LA is a great area - I can ride from LA, North to Santa Barbara or South to San Diego, with the majority of it being coastline riding... or I could ride East to Big Bear (at 4800+ feet) for a nice snow ride if I want... bike paths, hill climbs, good weather... sorry there’s not too many places that are gonna top that...
Cyco, I sure do ENVY you !!. Bicycling heaven all the way !
What's your take on all the junk miles to get out of the city from wherever you are living? Do folks always drive to a parking lot then bike out of their car?
@@EitanEhrlich Sometimes they drive, and sometimes they ride... Just depends on the rider… as for junk miles, there’s only junk miles if you make them junk miles…
LA County is so huge and loaded with roads to ride, this video barely scratches the surface. There's great roads to ride in the neighboring counties of San Bernadino, Ventura, Orange, Kern, and Riverside as well. LA is the only major city in this country that can boast all these mountain roads and trails within its metro region. There's always something new to try. I live in Highland Park, my neighborhood is great for riding, great scenic hills, and a great springboard for getting into the San Gabriel mountains and Angeles Crest Highway.
Such a fantastic episode! All the music was very fitting. Thank you GCN.
Love LA. I was visiting my sister in Woodland Hills with my bike and got to ride Mulholland Hwy to Leo Carillo State Beach and return on PCH. Just awesome
That's an awesome ride, love those rodes!
Not for nothing, but PCH is part of my daily cycling commute. I live in the West Valley and work in Malibu. It's a 3 hour bike commute, but I love it! It's great training and the views are amazing.
Here's a great rule of thumb for finding good cycling:
If they make wine there, the cycling will be great.
Prove me wrong...
haven't heard about Chile cycling tho...
Ka Yu Chu that’s cause it’s known for its enduro races
@@bosschu Just google red bull valparaiso... :D
Good call! I like that thought process. And you get to combine two of the best things in life! 🚴♂️🍷 I guess just not at the same time 😏
If you include MTB. South Island of New Zealand doesn't have the most pleasant road riding conditions. But the wines are fantastic!
Great travel log, Jeremy!! Makes me want to head west again. Very inspirational! Also, kudos to the production crew. Very engaging presentation.❤️
Started cycling when I was going to college in Claremont, CA - Mt. Baldy, Glendora Ridge & Mountain Roads, all incredible climbs. Love the riding in the greater LA and am especially missing it now from snowy CO.
I work at LAX and ONT, Claremont has some great places to have a beer and dinner while waiting for traffic on the 10 freeway to die down.
Nice route - except, as a westside local, my strong suggestion to visitors is to avoid the parts on Sunset Blvd wherever possible (the best way to cross the I-405 is on Montana and to the VA). The Stunt Rd to Saddle Peak to Tuna Canyon part is one of my favorites. The Tuna Canyon descent is one-way, which is really cool!
Just did SM to UCLA Via Montana And VA. Smooth. Thanks for the tip!
What a great vid man! The drone work and the mapping really pulled it all together - I had no idea LA had so much to offer.
Great vid Jeremy, you’ve chilled out since your first vlogs as a presenter and now this makes for great watching. Looking forward to when you come to New York to check out the biking scene
Thank you guys so much for making this video. How well done and beautiful your shots were really gave my home the respect it deserves and put it’s beautiful nature on display. I love that you guys featured stunt it’s probably on of the most featured climbs amongst riders in LA and can be a rite of passage for new cyclists. I essentially live in those fire roads you guys featured and usually hit the more MTB type trails, again thank you for making this is really made me smile.
I’ve literally never been to Griffith park when there wasn’t bumper to bumper traffic. Maybe I just have bad luck. And Hollywood Blvd, hell no.
And you never will!
If you enter Griffith park through the back way off of riverside drive, there's a super broad bike lane and after you pass the zoo theres a gated off road that no cars go on that will take you all the way to the observatory or the Hollywood sign.
Love this kind of content man, 3 guys chatting to explore cool place. Cycling in a nutshell
That was an amazing video, Jeremy and crew.
Great video so helpful thanks, it's good we have channels with like this!
Once you go at least 30+ miles (mostly east) from DTLA, you will find many amazing roads to ride on. The eastern part of Orange County (Rancho Santa Margarita, Mission Viejo, Irvine, etc.) have many roads with bike lanes and some good inclines. Glendora Mountain Road that takes you through the mountains in Mount Baldy and is a challenging, yet beautiful ride. Many roads near the LA/San Bernardino County line (Claremont, Chino Hills, Upland) and the OC/Riverside County Line (Corona, Yorba Linda, East Anaheim) have large inclines and really good views of the mountains and the entire valley.
FYI, Be careful on many of the busier, flat urban roads in the areas I described above. There are lots of commuting drivers who are constantly on their phones (probably looking at Waze), and I can’t tell how many “non-cyclist cyclists” ride against traffic on the roads, even on the bike lanes that have clearly marked arrows.
Such a great video. We need more from Jeremy!
Jeremy's such a great presenter. His energy and passion are awesome to watch!
Thais is such a great format for GCN videos... with a young child at home I don’t get to ride much anymore, but these videos capture a lot of what I miss about it, thanks GCN
Loved that, great show. Thanks JP.
I've lived in LA all my life and the route that Jeremy just did seems damn near impossible to do in one day without getting killed by a car one of those canyon roads. A lot of drivers in LA simply are not paying attention to where they are going because they're getting stoned from a vape pen, checking their phones, or having a meal whilst driving.
I can relate man. When I lived there myself I used to be the guy eating while driving. Just cuz the speed of life there is so fast it’s no joke. Its always goo goo goo because there’s so many people with soooo many cars. It’s insane.
With that said I was the most careful driver there fr fr 😬
I think I've played too much GTA 5... I recognize so many of these places.
Jeremy, great video! You've really began to relax and show your great, true self to us. Your enthusiasm for LA riding is infectious! I would love to check it out. I have been to the original 10 speed in Hood River, it would be nice to go to the one in LA.
I've been digging the Jeremy content from the US! It's nice seeing familiar rides and the differences between US and European cycling culture.
Great vid - please, more like this! And, how about a behind-the-scenes look at how you scout out the locations and routes??
JPow is such a natural.... His style is so laid back and engaging. Great content 👍!!!
I love riding PCH in Orange County along the cliffs north through Huntington Beach towards Long Beach!
J-Pow has done it again. His style is so different yet so familiar. A truly great addition to the GCN family.
SoCal cycling is something most people here already know. Some of the best terrain for road and dirt around!
Not really, born and raised I would say they're is tons of great cross country style mountain biking but road biking in LA seems like a great way to get splatted. I moved to Utah and city area is way better set of for paved bike trails, not even close.
@@jeffk464 Downtown and stuff sucks for road cycling (I've done a 140 mile ride before throughout mostly urban LA - that was brutal), but Santa Clarita/Simi/San Fernando valleys are mostly good, along with the Santa Monica mtns/Malibu/Ventura/Ojai/etc. and countless other places. The problem with Kaliforniastan is that many main routes/state highways (that don't have a bike lane) that are major cycling routes aren't exactly designed with cyclists in mind and often have little to no shoulder - so riding in a group helps. There's a handful of roads around here I avoid if I'm riding solo.
Dana Rouleau get into the Angeles national Forest or the River trails and safe high mileage rides are no problem.
@@T00ManyPets Yep, I've ridden Baldy Lifts, GMR, GRR, Crystal Lake, Big T, Mt. Wilson, etc...I particularly like when they close the road to cars on GMR/GRR and there's only cyclists on it...so awesome
@@jeffk464 The riding doesn't really include the city of LA in the same way you wouldn't include downtown NYC or London, UK. I lived in Zurich Switzerland and Copenhagen DK for nearly 5 years each and I can say unequivocally; the road riding is safer in the Malibu/Santa Monica mountains region (approx. 40 minutes by car outside LA city) when compared with the greater Zurich/Copenhagen village countryside & mountain roads/riding. I was struck by autos 3 times and forced to leave the pavement to avoid contact ~10 times over the period living in Europe with 2 incidents requiring reconstructive surgery. In contrast, riding in greater external to downtown LA area since returning to US in 2013 I've had only one close call that forced me to leave pavement due to driver negligence. Its not that the drivers are better here (they are def not!) however, the roads are much wider (with relatively wide marked shoulders) along with considerably lower traffic density. Additionally, there are fewer cyclists (not including Pacific coast highway (PCH) itself which reduces driver frustration and aggression). In contrast and perhaps stereotypically, CA residents are relatively laid back and have positive attitude and demeanor as drivers toward individuals and groups participating in outdoor sports and activities.
Damn what a great video! Well done! I love riding in LA but I hate being there! So much beauty there! Great job Jeremy! That Tuna descent is pretty awesome too!!
Great video. Enjoyed. Thanks Jerremey and GCN team. 🐼🐳☘🌎🇬🇧
Loved this film! Loved the mixture of travel, cycling, people, coffee & JPo. UK guys need to up their game.
Great video. I love this format.
Excellent editing, lovely video all around!
Cats out of the bag on LA.
Also happy you hit Peddler's Fork. I love riding the Santa Monica Mountains and some Mt Wilson action.
Thanks for showcasing some of the climbs LA has to offer. I'm so used to watching the gcn videos of you guys riding on the left side!
One of my favorite gravel roads/rides is point Mugu trail in the LA/Ventura County line. Beautiful views of the ocean, sand dunes & the nature all around you.
JPow might be the nicest, most pleasant American. The guy just blends in with everybody. Great ride!
It was rad having you on the Nichols ride with us J!!!
Who'd have thought that riding around LA would became an absolutely EPIC RIDE!? Camera, drone, music, edit, Jeremy, everyone, an AWESOME JOB!
Loved this video! Its everything Jeremy says. Have ridden in the Santa Monica Mtns many times. Makes me want to book a airline ticket to LA today!
Jeremy is doing a wonderful job showcasing cycling in North America. I love these videos.
Is that Phil at 8:36 ? Looks like he'll be featured in the next video
i saw on phil's strava pics he was out there with jeremy and safa from descent disciples. they basically live up in the SM mountains off pch
Could be....stay tuned.
Was gonna say how can you go to LA and not interview Phil!
Amazing ride! I hope to make a video like this someday! So many great places to ride around southern cal. Great work!
Thanks for showing the parts I used to live and ride. I’d love to see this on Strava or the route. I used to ride to Griffith Park from North Hollywood on my old mountain bike.
Great video! Disappointed you didn’t show your descent on Tuna Canyon Rd. It’s absolutely nuts!
What a great video! Between the cycling, the scenery, and the culture, this was fantastic!
We absolutely loved our time shooting in LA so we're pleased you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching, Gregg!
I agree. All of Southern California has some amazing secret paths. Come check out San Diego!
Luke Doney definitely! If you have the time, I would start at the in and out off north coast highway and do the tour all the way down the famous 101. Passing Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, Pb, ob, and then San Diego city proper. Finishing crossing the Coronado island bridge to Coronado. Continuing until the southern most point of the island. Now one way it is about 54 miles. I suggest you do a there and back. The ride is so different. Once you do that we have great paths along the 56 highway and 78 highways. the 395 is an gorgeous road that will show you the inland area of so cal. So good luck and have a great time!
What Jeremy isn’t showing is, if you don’t live in Beverly Hills (and you don’t) the 3 hours there-and-back you have to spend on the 405/10/whatever other freeway connects you to this riding.
DonalOB Beverly Hills is very much not adjacent to this riding. This is next to the Santa Monica/Brentwood area, super accessible to anybody in Palms/Culver City/Venice/Marina Del Rey in minutes and many more areas just use the new train for a quick ride over.
Yeah definitely accessible from almost anywhere on the westside, esp. north of LAX.
I lived in Echo Park for years. Rode Malibu all the time. The key is, ride there, don't drive. Plenty of great routes for a bike.
I live in Pasadena. We take Mulholland and hit the West side climbs every now and then. But I still prefer the Angeles national Forest climbs.
Yup
Great video! You hit up some of the best roads. Imagine another 90% more awesome choices of roads. Now imagine doing way more rides on epic mtn bike trails!! That's LA!!
Hey thanks for touching the surface back in the 80s my club used to climb those mountains back-and-forth across the Santa Monica‘s it’s fun to see you guys touch it again and discover it for yourselves rockstoreclimb, Mulholland, Latigo Canyon, Stunt Rd., Decker awesome climbs do it on a weekday
Looking out the window at Storm Ciara in old Blighty, then watching this made me want to book a flight today! If only that were possible :). Great video! Great music and commentary!
As someone who is injured right now and dying to ride Griffith Park, thank you for making this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This was a great video! Wish I had vlogged something similar! Bad wrap, but this region has a lot of hidden cycling gems!
Nice share I’ve been riding down in oc for the last 6 months just short 20 miles rides when I can. Will def check out portions of this ride!
Don't generally think of great cycling when I think of LA, but I am glad you guys found some good riding.Also good to see GCN do some stuff here in the US. Looking forward to more!
J-Pow--living the life bro...keep it up, fun to watch.
LA Sucks for Cycling?! I suffered the worst traffic jam on a Sunday evening. Great video... Now I have a good reason to push myself up hills.
One of the best Presentations yet 👍🏾👊🏾💯❤️🚴 Thank YOU GCN!
Great video! I’ve been riding in LA for years and agree - there are many excellent trail and road rides. I would add Nichols Canyon to your list. A great climb from Hollywood up to Mulholland. Beautiful scenery and a great workout.
right on JP and glad enjoyed our artery of roads, climbs and finding pedalers
Just watched this from my garage (on the turbo) in Herts uk (pissing it down outside). Could do with a slice of that sunshine biking. 👍 & subbed ✌🏻good vibes video, cheers!
I had a few days to kill in LA in April and hired a bike from Incycle in San Dimas (San Dimas High Rules!) and found some great riding up Glendora Mountain Road, Mount Baldy, Falling Springs etc. Temperature wise it was perfect but as it was low season a lot of places for food and drink on the routes (and there aren't that many) were closed. The roads themselves are fantastic and mainly empty. The banking on the corners are completely perfect for fast descending.
Santa Monica Mountains, starting form Santa Monica offer some of the best riding in the country. Beautiful and empty canyon roads, good pavement, lots of cyclists. is always a bit cooler here than in the rest of LA with amazing views and the ocean right next to it, hard to bit. I have been in Spain and France cycling and this is almost on par.
I live in Ontario California and the scenic routes we have here in California are second to none. I’m glad you made it down to the coast before dark, it gets so dark when the sun goes down, it would’ve been very difficult to cycle in that area. Kudos!
Nostalgic feelings watching this tour of LA. In the early 90s on my Wheeler, then Sandvik Diamond bike Reseda to Mulholland thru eagle rock, to Parker Mesa was all mine, before the subdivision boom. From Mtbr to road, nothing beats riding from Stonhaus parking lot to Rock store and thru Malibu hills. See the Cookie Grand Fondo route.people here to ride! Great job GCN. I'm now in Bend, Oregon 🚴♀️🚵♂️ do a part 2.
I lived in LA back before gravel was a thing... But, the Santa Monica early depart out the PCH was a twice a weekend staple in the mornings... We'd head out to Zuma and the smash each other to bits up a canyon or two on the way back... To say nothing of cruisin' around Venice and the Marina on bikes. LA was good to me on a bike.
i love it when jeremy does this kinda videos, i hope to see u do some segment on ny (upstate and long island)
J Pow! Awesome video showcasing our BackYard. For my Money - getting off the road and onto the gravel that is Dirt Mulholland is the best ride in the area. So much gravel up there in the Santa Monica Mountains. See you next time!
Palos Verdes Estates is fantastic riding, alongside the beach and the ocean . We have a couple of climbs 2500 feet, but phenomenal weather and fantastic cyclists! Thanks for the video!
There’s some great rides in my own back yard. Old Topanga Canyon is great. Keep heading up Mulholland Hwy to some great climbing and descents. Loop around Lake Malibu or head towards Hidden Valley through Westlake. Valley Circle out through Chatsworth and up through Santa Suzana Pass is another good ride.
Utterly brilliant video. I’ll never get to ride there but now I know what I’m missing 😊
LA and the West Ridge and Golden Saddle are certainly feeling the RUclips love with first PathLessPedeled and now #GCNmoney paying a visit. Don't know how much your paying Jeremy, but it isn't enough - this video was epic....... a bit like the drenching I just got from Clara on my morning ride :.)
It's a bit further north but I spent X-mas biking around Santa Barbara. Such a great place with similar climbs and scenery.
Awesome! GCN should keep doing cycling tours of cities just like this! Boulder, CO next?
Great video. You should come to Montreal, Qc, Canada to do some winter riding. That would be awesome to see that too on GCN.
And I watched the commercials amazing and funny. Thanks for the tips, great views and excellent content.
I want that ghostface jersey, take my money.... The Cam'ron pink is 🔥🔥🔥 too
Loved it, well done! Next business trip...gotta check out 10 Speed Coffee.
Great video all around. How'd you miss including Phil Gaimon?
Damn Jeremy. Missed it when u were here lol. Didn't realize GCN came to LA this year
Very nice video. It is very inspiring to ride even if there ist a big City where one hast to find a was out to the nice and quiet places.
I lived in the LA while in grad school and loved so many spots to ride. Many people forget Rancho Palos Verdes. Of course Mt.Wilson was a standard. My favorite ride however was riding from Azusa up to Crystal lake at the end of San Gabriel canyon road. Its 25 miles with about 5 and a half thousand feet of climbing. It always felt great to breathe fresh mountain air and feel so distant from the bustling city after just 25 miles of riding.
excellent video. having lived in SoCal for 10 years, its very easy to call LA both terrible and the absolute best place to ride. I loved it.
Stunning, Thanks.
You guys have the best job EVER!!
Superb content and editing
