Community Ride: Pedal to the Playa

New year, new adventures! Shake off the holiday hustle and reconnect with a Community Ride focused on fun, fresh air, and movement. Join Metro Bike Share for an exciting community ride from Marina Del Rey to Playa Del Rey, where you'll cruise along the stunning coastlines, soak in the views, and feel the wind in your hair.

This isn't a race—it's a fun and relaxed way to explore the neighborhood, make new friends, and kick off the year with joy. Whether you're a biking pro or just hopping on two wheels for the first time, this ride is all about relaxed fun for everyone!

Our community Ride is FREE, but to keep riding Metro Bike Share through the month, we're offering a 30-Day Pass for just $1 during January with code BIKEYEAR25.

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."
