Discover Los Angeles on Two Wheels

Exploring Los Angeles by bike is one of the most authentic and rewarding ways to experience the city. From the lively streets of West Hollywood to the coastal paths of Santa Monica, every neighborhood tells a different story. You’re in control — set your own pace, stop wherever you like for a photo, a coffee, or a quick sightseeing break. No traffic jams, no parking stress — just freedom, sunshine, and adventure around every corner.

Cycling through LA isn’t just a way to get from one place to another — it’s a full experience. You’ll glide past palm trees, colorful murals, and open-air markets that capture the city’s vibrant energy. Feel the rhythm of Los Angeles as you pedal through its famous landmarks, from Hollywood Boulevard to Beverly Hills, and take in the views of the Pacific Ocean or the iconic Hollywood Hills.

And while you explore, you’re also giving your body a boost. Riding a bike is an incredible workout — it burns calories, strengthens your legs, and lifts your mood. Add the California sun and ocean breeze, and your exercise feels more like play than effort. Breathe in the fresh air, recharge with natural vitamin D, and let the city’s energy flow through every ride.

With a bike, you’ll experience the real LA — the one that locals know and love. Discover hidden cafés, quiet parks, and photo-perfect spots that most tourists miss. Each ride becomes a new adventure, giving you a deeper, more personal connection with the city.
