Why locals recommend it
Downtown LA is becoming a great place to discover by bike using the new Metro Bike system and new bike lanes. Downtown is one of the only parts of town where you can visit cultural hubs, like the Historic Plaza District, historic icons, like Union Station, and newly emerging areas like the Arts District. It’s a flat and bustling path, with lots of potential stops, that gives you a glimpse into the city’s diversity. If you want a detour, stop by the The Wheelhouse, a bike/coffee shop. The owners, Chase and Tami, know the area well and can recommend some spots for urban exploration.
