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.

"The Pearl Harbor bike path is just like the rest of Hawaii that is not for tourist. Its in terible shape and no one takes care of it and you have to dodge the bed springs, washing machines and abandoned cars but it still better than the side walks or roads."
