LA骑车好去处

Lake Balboa Bike Path

Calling all nature lovers! Covering 80 acres, the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area is a great spot to explore the outdoors right in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. In addition to playgrounds and parks, it also features the beautiful Lake Balboa. The path around the lake is fairly flat, offering an easy trek for novice riders, but it’s by no means boring. There's tons to look at, especially in the spring when the cherry blossom trees are in bloom. After your ride, relax by the lake, where your little explorers will love watching the ducks and swans swimming around.

 

Insider Tip: Avoid the larger bike path that runs nine miles around the entire basin and take the shorter, off-street loop around Lake Balboa. Begin on the path from the East side of the lake and head past the Japanese Garden.

Lake Hollywood Reservoir

Lights, camera, cruise! Tucked into the Hollywood Hills (besides 3 million dollar homes) is the serene Hollywood Reservoir surrounded by a 3.5 mile walking and biking loop. With gorgeous views and a wide-open, flat paved path, this is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing and easy bike ride. Be sure to take a quick break at the Mulholland Dam as this is the ideal spot to snag a family selfie with the iconic Hollywood sign looming in the background!

Insider Tip: The best place to start your ride is from the North Gate off of Lake Hollywood Drive. Weekends tend to be more crowded with pedestrian traffic, so a weekday ride is a great time for beginner bikers to have the path all to themselves!
