Beach Cities Bike Tours Part Of Win A Trip To Los Angeles Promotion
If you were watching the Today Show and saw people riding bikes by the beach and as part of a win a trip to Los Angeles promotion, then said to yourself “hey I would like to do that,” here’s how to do it.
The tours are run by Beach Cities Bike Tours and are guided tours along the beach on bicycles. Yes, a tour in Los Angeles with no cars!
The tours focus primarily in the South Bay Beach Cities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, but also stretch up to Marina del Rey, Venice Beach and Santa Monica for those who like the full experience.
The tours are run by a long-time local who knows the area and guides people along The Strand, a concrete path that runs parallel to the sand along the coast of Los Angeles.
Along the way, you encounter not just other bicyclists, but also surfers and beach volleyball players (several Olympic gold medalists often practice in Hermosa Beach, including Kerry Walsh-Jennings).
The guide also points out famous Hollywood locations, such as the beach house for the “90210” TV show and where the movies “Blow” and “2012” were filmed.
Additionally – and this is the real bonus – the tour points out the guide’s picks for the best in dining, nightlife and the area’s best Happy Hours.
The cost is $25/hr for up to four people (inquire about rates for larger groups), plus the bike rental. Tours in the South Bay’s three cities last two hours.
