Doty wrote that \u201cCyclers see considerable more of this beautiful world than any other class of citizens. A good bicycle, well applied, will cure most ills this flesh is heir to.\u201d&nbsp;A number of good bicycles, recently applied regularly, have in fact, helped to heal a nagging knee injury, to mend a broken heart, to provide a newfound sense of freedom, and to open up a whole new Los Angeles life for this recent transplant to this historically car-dependent city. Those living in the area, or visiting the City of Angels would be well-advised to take a page out of Doty\u2019s book (and in this case, mine) and take themselves a two-wheeled adventure this summer.<\/p>\n<p>There is a continually growing network of bike lanes, paths, and routes in Los Angeles from the popular LA River Bike Path where serious cycles speed past in high cadence groups clad in lycra and aerodynamic helmets to the Venice Beach boardwalk where a cruiser is key as is a knack for avoiding roller bladders and curious children, and numerous spots, in between. But this summer, Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) and its neighboring Arts District is truly the place to ride.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Biketinerary <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, you need some wheels. If you\u2019re already the neighborhood, head over to DTLA Bikes to get outfitted as they just might have the largest bike rental fleet in Los Angeles. They, like so many others in the local cycling community are on an inspiring mission to provide cost effective and green transportation alternatives to everyone in, and visiting, downtown. For just $30 (for the full day), they\u2019ll set you up with a DTLA City Bike, and for $10 more, you can ride around on a fixie (single speed) and be well on your way to local hipster-dom. I kid, but they are incredibly stylish and chic. You can also visit the Metro Bike Share station on Factory Place, just a fifty yards or so from the popular restaurant Factory Kitchen, LA Boulders indoor rock climbing gym, and even The Los Angeles Gun Club. <em>DTLA Bikes address: <\/em><em>425 S Broadway, Los Angeles. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/The-Wheelhouse-LA.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11877 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/The-Wheelhouse-LA-e1498062121101-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"The Wheelhouse LA\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11877 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/The-Wheelhouse-LA-e1498062121101-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"The Wheelhouse LA\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/The-Wheelhouse-LA-e1498062121101-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/The-Wheelhouse-LA-e1498062121101-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/The-Wheelhouse-LA-e1498062121101-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>Once you\u2019ve got your bicycle, you\u2019re ready to ride and you\u2019ll definitely want some fuel to get you properly fortified for your ride about town.

The Giving Keys, a pay it forward company that exists to employ those transitioning out of homelessness here in Los Angeles to make key necklaces and other jewelry out of repurposed keys, is also based nearby. You can visit their semi-permanent pop-up shop housed in a vintage airstream trailer that is housed right next door to their offices and workshop where the keys and jewelry are made. Purchase a key for you with a word stamped on it that speaks to you (HOPE, LOVE, STRENGTH, DREAM, CREATE, INSPIRE\u2026), wear that key and embody that word with what is means for you, and when you\u2019ve soaked up all the good bits of that word and they\u2019ve had an impact on your life, take your key off and give it to someone else who might need that word of HOPE, LOVE, STRENGTH, not to mention that small yet powerful act of kindness. The Giving Keys security guard, Newton, will likely even watch your bike for you while you pop into the trailer. You should buy him a coffee as a thank you at Groundwork across the street. Newton likes Americanos. <em>Address: 836 Traction Ave, Los Angeles.<\/em><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LA Biking 101<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the City of Los Angeles, you are actually allowed to ride on the sidewalk unless, according to Metro it is done \u201cwith a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property,\u201d but, please, don\u2019t be that guy or gal.
