This could be mis-read. There is only a short section of PCH in Malibu that has an actual bike lane (just north of Zuma beach), and even there it's simply white painted lines on the shoulder. I know I'm inured to its scenic beauty, but really there's no way to enjoy the scenery while riding your bike on PCH as you need to fully devote your attention to the traffic. The possible exception is the stretch heading north from around Trancas Canyon (pro tip: ride along Broad Beach Road) up to Las Posas Road, traffic is generally lighter and there's a decent shoulder.
The good stuff is in the canyons off of PCH, many options with amazing vistas, but ya gotta like to climb.
