Imagine cycling alongside thousands of fellow riders during L.A.’s largest event in June 2025. Feeling the excitement as you pedal past iconic historical landmarks throughout the night, including LACMA, the Petersen Museum, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Sony Pictures Studios, Culver City Studios, and the historic Culver Hotel, which is over 100 years old, just to name a few.
Our summer rides greatly boost our monthly attendance, resulting in a completely packed meetup at 6:30 PM. Participants spilled out beyond 6th and Western, extending past Wilshire Blvd and Oxford, all eager and ready to ride!
June’s ride route destination was Marina Del Rey, while allowing participants to explore and ride along the scenic Ballona Creek bike path to Chase Park, our main break area for the June 2025 ride. Envision cycling alongside thousands of fellow riders on one of L.A.’s most scenic bike paths. The night sparkled with countless lights as we pedaled along, savoring the cool, fresh breeze on the Ballona creek bike path.
THE FAMOUS WILSHIRE BLVD
As always, we began in Koreatown at Wilshire and Western, making our way west along Wilshire Blvd. Our route took us through the beautiful neighborhoods of Hancock Park, Miracle Mile, Little Ethiopia, Beverly Hills, Culver City, and finally to Marina del Rey.
