Southern California Bike Tour
Framed by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Tehachapi Mountains, as well as endless Pacific Ocean coastline, it’s no wonder that Southern California has a big draw for many. No matter which part of the state you visit, you’re bound to run into some friendly locals who want to show you their home. The region is also known for the popularity of its bike culture – and what better way to go sightseeing than with a Southern California bike tour? It doesn’t matter what your fitness level is, you’ll fit in just fine. It’s safe, affordable, and a unique way to see the area.
A lot of people visiting Southern California inevitably end up finding themselves in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. For many, Beverly Hills and Hollywood are both big draws. A locally guided Southern California bike tour through the Beverly Hills and Hollywood areas can end up with some pretty surprising results, including the occasional run-in with an A-list celebrity. You’ll ride all the way to the Pacific Ocean, while making stops to see the Hollywood Sign, the Walk of Fame, Sunset Strip, the Beverly Hills Sign, Santa Monica Beach, various TV and film locations, and even some film studios. Be sure to stop at Venice Beach – it’s famous for a reason!
If you’ve got an adventurous streak, you can opt for a multi-day bike tour running all the way from Carmel to Santa Barbara. The views are completely worth it! Along the way, you’ll see Garapata Beach and the Big Sur Lodge amongst the Red Woods. You’ll take in the Big Sur Coastline, where you may even spot some elephant seals while passing through San Simeon. Ending up in Santa Barbara wine country, you’ll ride through Foxen Canyon with some wine tasting stops and some gourmet food samplings. You’ve got to replenish those calories somehow, right?
