If you don't already, you should know that the PCH is full of people in hire cars, and RVs, who are bad drivers, in a foreign country. The tourists in Mustangs are one thing but the RVs are something else, they're often driven by tourists who normally drive a standard car and have little idea how to drive a large vehicle, or of the clearances involved.
I have a colleague (confident cyclist, generally awesome person) who cycled all over the world and she said she was nearly taken out by several RVs on that road and wouldn't do it again.
Having driven down it, it's not some quiet open road idyll, it can actually get quite busy.
I thought about doing it, decided not to, then after driving it and talking to said colleague was glad I didn't.
