Bike Riding Venice Boulevard From Downtown To The Beach

One of the joys of being in Los Angeles is how many different sights, sounds, and activities are at your disposal in a relatively small geographic area. That said, they can be hard to reach by car, as the city suffers from legendary traffic problems, and via public transportation, as it sometimes requires two or three transfers to get where you are going. Similarly, getting from downtown to the beach on Venice Boulevard can be time-consuming—or simple- if you are riding a bike. All you need is a good city bike and a few pointers on how to stay safe along the way.

Keep Your Eyes Open and Use Your Gears

Coming out of downtown and passing the Staples Center on your way through the Mid-City, Culver City, and Palms neighborhoods, you’ll need to keep a keen eye out for impatient drivers and cars turning from the wrong (or even right) lane, all while negotiating the on-again-off-again bike lanes. The city has come a long way in promoting and protecting bike riding, but it is far from perfect. Consequently, you will need a good city bike that allows you to accelerate quickly and without too much effort, as well as one that has multiple gears—seven would be perfect—so that you can respond to the stop-and-go traffic without overtaxing your leg muscles. Luckily, sixthreezero has an extensive selection of great city commuter bikes from which to choose. Here you can check out all their city commuter bikes.

The Beach Is Close, So Relax—But Not Completely

As you pass through Culver City and Palms before re-entering Culver City, you’ll notice the landscape slowly changing. Namely, there is less traffic, more space, and more pronounced bike lanes as you head west and near the beach. With the sun and sand beckoning you’ll want to relax and unwind, but you will still need to keep your eyes and ears open and your gears clicking, as chilled out Venice has a way of attracting preoccupied tourists and visitors of all sorts who may or may not see you coming. This is another reason to ride a well-equipped, multi-gear urban city bike here. If you don’t already have one, find the perfect urban city bike from sixthreezero.

As your travels through the heart of L.A. to the beach should reflect your specific needs, so should your bike. The good news is that you can create your own good city bike from scratch by visiting sixthreezero’s state-of-the-art Bicycle Customizer.
