Customer Review: Best way possible to see Los Angeles. Wonderful, especially for the older rider.
I love taking these “shortie” bike rides with my son, Myron Kempelstein, and many of his friends in the entertainment industry, including his ex-wife Amy Sedaris, and the Trump-Hiltons, among others. Excellent routes, although many are quite demanding. Scenic.
Customer Review: Need to use some common sense on some of these routes
I bought this book for my husband, who loves to ride. We live just outside LA. When I cracked it open, I got excited about a downtown LA route. My husband read the route and said we’d be crazy to be on bikes through some of LA’s most dangerous neighborhoods (both in terms of crime and in terms of traffic). A lot of these routes are nice in theory, but I wouldn’t exactly want to put them into practice.
There are better guides that stick to the well-known, safely traveled routes like the beach bike paths and stuff through the Malibu mountains. This isn’t recommended for a LA novice, because you need to know if a route makes sense before embarking on it.
The lay-out of the book is great, with detailed maps and turn by turn directions. If you know you want to do a route, it is very easy to follow along.
