BikeLA Rail to Rail Community Ride for Week Without Driving

BikeLA is partnering with America Walks, MoveLA and Metro to lead a community ride on the new Rail to Rail Bike Path on Slauson Ave.

Join BikeLA, Metro Bike Share, America Walks and Move LA for this beginner-friendly ride! The ride will begin at the Compton/Slauson Metro Bike Share Station located in South Los Angeles. We will ride about 3.5 miles on the new Rail to Rail Bike Path to the Denker/Slauson Metro Bike Share Station (with an option to go 2 miles further) and then return to the Compton/Slauson Station.

If you would like to use a Metro Bike Share bike at no cost, please reserve an "I need to borrow a bike" ticket when you register. You must be 16+ to ride a Metro Bike.

Participants will also receive a FREE helmet and set of bike lights.
