Los Angeles River bicycle path, Class I bicycle path in the Greater Los Angeles area

The Los Angeles River bicycle path is a paved cycling route that follows the river through several neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California. The surface is flat and wide enough to separate cyclists from pedestrians along most of its length.

The path was built as part of efforts to restore the Los Angeles River, which had been lined almost entirely with concrete during the 20th century. The cycling route was developed gradually as the city began reclaiming the riverbanks for public use.

The path's name changes with the ground it crosses: the 7.4-mile stretch through the Glendale Narrows is called the Elysian Valley Bicycle & Pedestrian Path, while the run from Vernon to Long Beach is LARIO, the Los Angeles River Bikeway. Mileage markers are painted on the pavement, and signs at regular intervals name the upcoming city streets. The Baum Bicycle Bridge, whose plaque reads "BAUM BICYCLE BRIDGE" and "APRIL 2002", carries the route over the river in Los Feliz.

The flat surface makes the route accessible to most riders, and the many entry points along the way let you pick a section that fits your time. Going in the morning tends to mean fewer people on the path.

A short stretch near Frogtown is one of the few spots where the concrete riverbed has given way to natural vegetation, making it look unlike the rest of the route. This section is often pointed to as a sign of what the river could eventually become.
