I love biking in LA! Being able to ride to the beach or the grocery store instead of driving is one of the things I love the most about living here. I do wish there were more bike lanes on busier streets as I sometimes get nervous riding when there's a ton of traffic!
Biking in Boulder is great, except for the weather! It's too cold and/or snowy to cycle (well for me) about 6 months of the year. But we do have nice days even in deepest darkest winter.
