Been looking at things to do in LA.. decided it looks shit.
Santa Monica itself is a bit too clean and serene for anyone under 50, but tbh if you really like cycling then just hire a proper road bike for the day (Helen's Cycles or Cynergy should have something decent) and take yourself off up the PCH for an afternoon of climbing Topanga and the surrounding canyons. Some of the most incredibly pleasant riding you might ever do, at a time of year when the temperature's perfect.
Evening time, head towards Los Feliz / Silver Lake for good times.

Or you could go to Mexico and drink shit beer...
