Bicycle Infrastructure

San Marino currently does not have a bicycle master plan. However, thanks to its many tree lined, well-maintained residential streets, the City is frequented by recreational cyclists, who can often be seen riding in groups through town on the weekend.  The weekly Saturday Montrose Ride also traverses town at a high rate of speed via Huntington Drive, despite the fact that it is arguably the City's least pleasant street to ride a bike on. 

The City is bisected by Huntington Drive, a regional thoroughfare that recently received Class II Bicycle Lanes in the City of Los Angeles. The cities of South Pasadena and Alhambra have planned extending these bike lanes along their stretches of Huntington Drive to the west of San Marino. In 2014 the City striped Class II bicycle lanes on Del Mar Ave, from the San Gabriel border to Huntington Drive.

In 2014 the City hired Ryan Snyder Associates to develop its first Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. A draft plan was developed and circulated in the community, but was never adopted due in part to local fears that bikeways would attract "outsiders" to the community.
