But perhaps best of all is its perpetual sunshine. Here, in LA, we can ride just about every day of the year.

So, what are you waiting for? Hop on your bike, or rent one, (don’t forget to buckle a helmet onto that precious head of yours) and, as we say in Spanish, vaya, vaya (go, go)! We’ll take you on great adventures—let Where to Bike Los Angeles be your guide.

The App is aimed at recreational cyclists (including families with children) looking for outings and for mature cyclists in search of fitness and enjoyment. Where to Bike Los Angeles features approximately 50 recreational rides for adults and kids.

Each ride, graded from one to five stars in difficulty, will be presented with a detailed, full-color map and an altitude profile showing all the hills.
