Downtown L.A. and Laguna Beach were the only spots where we found cycling risky. * Costs in american dollars (USD) cloud-downloadCLICK HERE to Download our FREE Quick Starter Guide to Bicycle Touring ON THE BIKE Total: 24 Days Days cycling: 19 Days Days resting: 5 Days Total pedalled: 1229Kms (763mi) Kms/day: 51.2Kms (31.8mi) Kms/days of cycling: 64.7Kms (40.2mi) Total Spent: 370.76 USD Average spent per day: 15.45 USD Average spent per person per day: 7.22 USD LODGING Total Spent: 132 USD Average spent per day: 5.50 USD Average spent per person per day: 2.25 USD FOOD Total Spent: 211.86 USD Average spent per day: 8.83 USD Average spent per person per day: 4.42 USD OTHERS Total Spent: 46 USD Average spent per day: 1.91 USD Average spent per person per day: 0.95 USD Our daily budget for the trip is 25 USD per day for both of us.
