I rode the Pearl Harbor bike path this morning, and it is not the prettiest of paths (considering this is Hawaii), but it is pretty safe for family bike rides. I rode it from start to finish and the best scenery is of the East Loch to observe the large battleships which are quite incredible. There are a few areas on the trail that are pretty rough but all in the all not bad; just wish there were better scenery.
Note: if you are going to stop to take photos of the battleships, leave your bike on the bike path as there are long thorny stickers that will cause flat tires.

I ride the trail periodically to commute to work. It is OK. The surface is uneven and rough in spots. It is narrow and can have a lot os pedestrian use in areas. It also crosses some busy street so you have to watch for cars. It is about the best Hawaii has to offer though.

I was on this path two weeks ago and I am happy to report an improvment since Andy rode the path. There was no junk on the path, as I understand there was a community clean up in April. The path runs through an industrial-commercial area unlike most paths. The nearest bike store to the path only sells bikes and doesn't rent them. I get the impression that bike riding is not as popular in Hawaii as the main land. Most main roads have no or small shoulders(There is no snow to plow). Almost no one wears helmets.
The situation is better on the island of Kauai. There is a very nice path along the shore beginning in the village of Kapa'a. Just to the south is a nice path in Lydgate State path. There are many rental shops. As on Oahu the main roads have small or no shoulders and are dangerous to ride on.
