The Metro Orange Line bicycle path is a mixed Class 1 bike path and Class 2 bike lane that parallels the Metro Orange Line busway in Los Angeles County. The path starts at Chandler Boulevard and the North Hollywood Redline, and runs West. It is a Class 2 bike lane until between Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Fulton Avenue, where it becomes a Class 1 bike path. It makes its way Westward between Chandler Boulevard, Oxnard Street, Victory Boulevard, and so on until De Soto, where it re-joins the surface roads. Map of California showing Los Angeles County. ...

It is claimed that bicycle travel in Los Angeles has become increasingly popular since the "bike boom" of the 1970s -- a period of time in which Los Angeles city and county authorities began painting bicycle lanes alongside the traffic lanes of major thoroughfares, and creating bicycle-only bike paths in others.
Bicycles are allowed on the Metrolink commuter rail system which connects the core of the city to the suburbs.
