Here are a couple of good resources: http://la-bike.org/events, http://www.bicyclela.org/

Sorry I can't be more specific regarding areas.
Is that the Balona Creek path? If so, I think that's South of where I'm likely to meander. Good info, though - that's sort of what I'm looking for. I got in a bad area in San Diego last time - the problem is that you sometimes don't get that gut check until you might already be in trouble....
