Bring water on warmer days, particularly in summer. Wear a helmet and high-visibility gear, especially during peak commute times when foot and bike traffic may increase. The path is open year-round; summer heat can be intense, so early morning or late afternoon rides are more pleasant. Check local PSP etiquette—walk bikes where crowded.
