The experience

The tour starts on Route 66 in West Hollywood and moves into Beverly Hills to see the Greystone Mansion and celebrity homes and gardens around the Beverly Hills Hotel. From there you ride through Westwood and Brentwood (neighborhoods of upscale shops and restaurants) before heading west toward the coast. The route covers 32 miles total, so a moderate level of fitness and the ability to ride comfortably for the full day matter. The operator notes that a few hills appear along the way, which is why they recommend the electric bike option for most riders.

You'll bike the Marvin Braude Bike Trail along Santa Monica and Venice beaches, stopping at the Santa Monica Pier and then rolling through the Venice Boardwalk, past Muscle Beach and the Venice skate park. The tour includes a lunch break on Venice Beach halfway through, where you pick up food (cash or card, $15). After Venice, the route passes through the Venice Canals and Marina del Rey before finishing in Culver City, home to the Culver Studios and Sony Studios, where shows like Jeopardy! are filmed.

Your guide is CPR and First Aid certified and leads the tour in English. The bike shop provides a helmet, safety vest, bottled water and free onsite storage for bags while you ride. Closed-toe shoes are required. If you're traveling with young children, the operator welcomes riders ages 6 and up who can bike independently. Specialized infant seats are available if needed.

Is this one for you?Choose the electric bike if the 32-mile distance or the hills along the route concern you. It removes the pedaling strain while keeping you moving through all five hours. Book the standard bike if you want the full workout and prefer the lighter feel of a non-motorized ride.
