  I did the bike ride. I left Monterey and went to Pebble Beach in Carmel. The breathtaking view is breathtaking and yields wonderful photos. For those who want to go by bike: the route has 44km with 260m of accumulated altimetry, that is, it is super flat and very easy to pedal. Cars respect oq cyclists makes the route super safe. For those who want to go by car: you charge a fee to get on the highway. I do not know the value, but i know q is worth paying. My suggestion: by bike you can enjoy the landscapes much better!
