Summary
Leaving gear, wheeled toys, or a vending cart on a designated bicycle path in Redondo Beach is a straight code violation. Section 3-1.08 bars beach gear, clothing, and picnic equipment from any bike path, Section 3-1.07 adds skateboards and roller skates, and a separate vending ordinance bans vending carts from every bike lane and sharrow citywide.
No person shall use or leave standing on any designated bicycle path any lounging equipment, athletic equipment, beach paraphernalia, article of clothing, or picnic equipment, including food containers.

Full Breakdown
Redondo Beach treats its bicycle paths as through-routes that must stay clear. 08 makes it unlawful to use or leave standing on any designated bicycle path "lounging equipment, athletic equipment, beach paraphernalia, article of clothing, or picnic equipment, including food containers," language written with the Esplanade beach path in mind, where towels, coolers, and folding chairs are a chronic complaint. 07 layers on a device ban: no skateboard, roller skates, wheeled toy, or device may be used or left on a bike path at all, a flatter prohibition than the sidewalk rules that require posted signage first.
2010(j) of the sidewalk vending chapter prohibits vending "on any bike path, bike lane, sharrow, or bike trail, including, but not limited to, the bike path on or adjacent to the Esplanade," closing the gap a cart vendor might otherwise exploit by parking just off the beach path but still in a striped bike lane. None of these sections require a hazard finding or posted sign; the prohibitions apply everywhere a path or lane is designated. 05, by contrast, covers bicycles and skateboards left on ordinary sidewalks in business districts, a distinct standard from the bike-path rules here.
Violations & Fines
Leaving prohibited items or using a wheeled device on a designated bicycle path violates Sections 3-1.07 and 3-1.08; a vendor operating on a bike path, lane, sharrow, or trail violates Section 3-7.2010(j) and is subject to the sidewalk-vending permit revocation and citation process. Items or devices left in violation may be removed, and the Police Department enforces the device bans.
