Existing Bike Plan/Infrastructure
In March 2011 Temple City adopted its first Bicycle Master Plan. Until that point in time the City did not have any Class I/II bicycle infrastructure, and few Class III routes. Local cyclists did, however, benefit from the community's flat topography, small size, and proximity to the Class I Rio Hondo River bicycle path. The plan adopted in 2011 is one of the strongest and most comprehensive in the San Gabriel Valley.

Proposed Bicycle Infrastructure
Thanks to strong support by City staff and elected leaders, planning on several key components of the plan are underway, most notably the development of a Class I on-street protected bike lane (or "cycletrack") on Rosemead Blvd. and Class II bicycle lanes on Las Tunas Dr. With an expected completion date by early 2014, the former will be the first cycletrack completed in the San Gabriel Valley. The City also supports LA County's development of a Class I Bike Path along the Eaton Wash, which would provide local residents a direct link to the Emerald Necklace and Eaton Canyon in East Pasadena.
