May is Bike Month

This is your invitation to explore Los Angeles on two wheels.

This Bike Month, grab a Metro Bike and experience the freedom of riding. The possibilities are endless: cruise through your neighborhood, ride to work, or head out with friends to your favorite spot.

Community Rides

Let's ride together!

Community Rides are an excellent way to get connected whether you are a seasoned rider, or are brand new to riding the streets of LA. Come with your own bike, or use a Metro Bike and meet some new folks while you're at it. Community rides are always free, and utilize bike lanes and protected bike infrastructure as much as possible.
