Biking tours in Los Angeles: beach or Downtown?
Choose the beach ride for views, and a Downtown ride for history and street art. The beach tour follows the coast from Santa Monica to Marina del Rey. The four Downtown tours start near Grand Central Market or in the Arts District.
A bike reaches places a bus cannot, but you do the work. If you would rather sit and look, a Los Angeles big bus tour or a guided van tour covers more ground.
Electric bike tour in Los Angeles
Two picks use e-bikes for everyone: the Arts District e-bike tour and the Downtown markets tour. The beach tour lets you choose a bike or an e-bike when you book. An e-bike makes bridges and hills easy, so pick it if you are not a regular rider.
Handlebar bike tours in Los Angeles
Handlebar Bike Tours runs three of our picks: the Arts District e-bike tour, the Downtown top 10 and the Downtown markets ride. All three meet at 312 South Hill Street, by Grand Central Market. Groups are small, with up to 8 riders, and riders must be 16 or older.
What to know before you ride
You need to be able to ride a bike on city streets. Bring water and sunscreen; food and drinks are not included on any pick.
- Age: the Handlebar tours are for riders 16 and older.
- Pregnancy: the beach ride and the mural ride say they are not suitable for pregnant women.
- Luggage: the Downtown top 10 offers luggage storage.
- Cancellation: each pick shows free cancellation on its booking page. Check the exact cut-off there.
Tips for a bike tour in LA
Pick the e-bike if in doubt
LA distances are long. An e-bike keeps the ride fun if you don't cycle much at home.
Check what is included
Bike and helmet are included on four picks. On the mural ride, you rent a Metro Bike yourself.
Read small review counts with care
Only the beach ride has more than 15 reviews. A 5.0 from one review is a hopeful sign, not proof.
Bring sun protection
The beach ride spends 3 hours in the open. Bring sunscreen, a hat and water.
