The Santa Monica Bike Center has pretty good bike rentals - I find their bikes to be slightly more expensive but significantly nicer than the ones you find elsewhere. They're at Colorado and 2nd.
The bike path is long, 22 miles from end to end. The part that the sites keep telling you to ride is my least favorite part, but only due to the crowds. That stretch is crawling with people who are not watching out for even slow riders, so if you want to go fast through there, your only real bet is early in the morning on a weekday. It is easily bypassed by using Main St. through Santa Monica and Venice which has a pretty nice bike lane.
The path also has a number of breaks in it. The northern end starts at the parking lot for Will Rogers State Beach (at PCH and Temescal). It runs continuously from there to Venice Pier at Washington. From there, you have to head up Washington (there's a bike lane) to Mildred, then make a right onto the bike path again. It'll run along Admiralty, then through the harbor area, before meeting up with Fiji Way. That has a bike lane down to a roundabout at the end where you pick up the path again. It then meets up with the Ballona Creek path.
From that point the path is pretty straightforward until you get Hermosa. At that point, the path takes a hard right and goes from a bike path to a multi-use path. In the meantime, if you go straight Hermosa Ave. has sharrows and enough riders on it that it usually works pretty well. You can take that all the way down to Redondo where you then get treated to a pretty nice protected cycletrack that starts at Herondo St.
Then you get a well marked but odd route through the pier/parking lot complex that, unfortunately, has a mandatory dismount zone for a short stretch. Walk through that, then get back on and do the end of the run down to the south end of Redondo.
Google Maps with the Bicycling mode turned on will show a lot of this, as well as good routes to pick up the path. I also can't recommend this book enough. Great rides, well written directions, definitely worth picking up.
Have a great ride, and if you feel like it, come join us over in /r/BikeLA!
EDIT: Forgot that there's the possibility the path is still closed near Dockweiler. A year or two ago some strong storms knocked out part of the path and, at least the last time I was there, it still hadn't been repaired. There's a service road, Marine St., that goes from Surf St. in Playa del Rey to Imperial Highway that makes for a good alternate through that stretch.
