Re: [bikepaths] San Gabriel River Trail

I, too, have ridden the SGR bike path from the ocean to the mountains without problems, but I would not say it's "perfectly" safe. There are sections (Downey, Pico Rivera, etc.) where there is evidence of gang activity, so I seldom stop in those areas. I ride alone, but it would be safer in a group. It's not as bad as the Lario trail, but you still have to watch for broken glass. Overall, it's a great trail - don't let these precautions scare you away!

Subject: Re: [bikepaths] San Gabriel River Trail

I have ridden the River trail many times with no problems. I have ridden from the start in Irwindale all the way down to Long Beach (Los Alamitos) and back. Approx 60 miles (30 each way). I usually start between 7-7:30 am and twice as late as 9 am. Like I said, NO problems at all. I have ridden alone too.

Gangs are not a problem nor is this an area for homeless camps; I assume the sheriff dept patrols this area regularly. At one point when the path goes under an...
