What To Expect

E Bike Tours Los Angeles

Our local guide will meet you at our office, a dedicated bike bungalow in adorable Atwater Village, an easy walkable neighborhood known for its cafe scene and artisanal shopping. We'll introduce you to your ebike and get you acquainted (yes all the ebikes have names!) and fitted with safety gear.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Atwater Village

We head off into quiet residential streets and enter the LA River at the new car-free "Red Car Pedestrian Bridge", so named after the legendary Red Car Rail Trolleys that rumbled over the L.A. River at the same spot more than 60 years ago. We'll also learn about our beloved LA River, the lifeblood of Los Angeles throughout its early history, providing essential water for life in this arid region. Without this river, LA would have never existed. We’ll be standing under the Hyperion Bridge, a replica of which stands in Disneyland. Walt Disney lived 5mins away in Los Feliz where he created Mickey Mouse in his Aunt and Uncle's garage. He later had his first studio here in Silver Lake and was a regular at the Tam O’Shanter (Table 31) right here in Atwater Village. Built in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the bridge is designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.

Elysian Valley

This new, bright orange, bike-walk bridge with its distinctive open frame box style is located in the eight-mile-long, relatively natural Glendale Narrows stretch of the river. Measuring 400 ft long, 20 foot wide it features two cantilevered viewing platforms - called belvederes - with expansive north and south views and is designed exclusively for pedestrians and bicyclists, connecting the Elysian Valley and Cypress Park neighborhoods. Taylor Yard Bikeway and Pedestrian Bridge is one of three pedestrian crossings recently erected along the LA River as part of the Los Angeles’ River Revitalization Master Plan. This crossing will eventually connect to the Taylor Yard G2 River Park, a new, sustainable recreational greenspace to be built on the 42-acre site adjacent to the river known as the G2 parcel.

6th Street Viaduct

This tiered arch bridge - referred to as the “Ribbon of Light” -pays homage in its design to the original 1932 bridge, which had two pairs of iconic arches over the LA River section of the structure and appeared in countless films, television shows, music videos, and commercials. The new bridge employs a series of 10 pairs of sculptural arches with the tallest pairs placed adjacent to and framing the LA River where the original arches stood and another taller pair span US101 as a gateway on the east. We access the bridge by swirling up a monumental helical bike ramp. Wheeeeee!! A new 12-acre public park running below the bridge, accessible by multiple stairways and the helical bike ramp, provides access to much-needed recreational fields with restrooms and café, the LA River, public art, and a programmed arts plaza.
