Make sure you stop frequently when you are at a safe location and take your time to enjoy the scenery. Many of the bridges in Big Sur have been replaced and they have good shoulders for bicycles. I think the bridges are some of the best places to stop and take in the scenery. You usually get an open vista to the ocean and you get a great canyon view inland and a beautiful rocky stream straight below. Unfortunately, I didn't figure this out immediately and I missed a lot of scenic stops. Visitors in cars can't enjoy these spectacular locations.
Oh yeah, this, the coastal road has some great views and some wide shoulders/bicycle lanes with great views. You can see the car drivers drooling with envy as they whizz by as you take a picture of yet another scenic vista.
