The G Line Bikeway is a cycle route in Los Angeles County, California, that runs for 17.9 miles (28.8 km) from Chatsworth, through Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area to to Valley Glen.[1][2][3] It runs alongside the G Line bus rapid transit route, sharing a dedicated right-of-way with it.[4][5]
The section from Chatsworth station to just east of Valley College station is Class I off-street bike path. The 2 mi (3.2 km) section beginning between Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Fulton Avenue and continuing to North Hollywood station on the easton Chandler Boulevard is Class II on-street bike lane.[6]
One guide to Los Angeles cycling notes that the need for cyclists to stop when the path crosses streets running perpendicular to it inhibits the flow of an uninterrupted ride, making the path better suited to recreational riding than endurance cycling or physical conditioning.[7]
At Chatsworth station, the bikeway connects to the 1.6-mile-long (2.6 km) Browns Creek Bike Path. The bike path also connects readily to the bike paths of the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area.[8] Because of the long reach of the extended path, this route has been called a “San Fernando Valley commuter corridor”[9] and “the crown jewel of San Fernando Valley bike infrastructure.”[10]
