Abbott Kinney Boulevard in Venice Beach is one hotspot to witness a very vibrant bicycle culture and community. Everyone was out on their bikes the morning I went for brunch there.
Ride up and check out the German-inspired menu at Three Square Bakery.
Or share a casual coffee with a friend on the side of the road.
Or pedal off to yoga class!
Cycling around Venice is so popular, people even simulate it in gym class!
If you don't have a bike, you can test ride this gorgeous red Strida folding bike from A+R store!
By all means, in a place like Venice Beach, get out on your bike and celebrate the sunny weather!
More photos on my Venice Beach Flickr Photostream. Ride on!

LA is Cruiser Central. I understand it's Venice Beach and all, but still...Every time I'm down there I see literally hundreds of cruisers, and at night they don't even lock them up! They just leave 'em in a stack next to a fence or something, like 10 bikes piled next to each other w/no lock! Crazy!
Also, I noticed a lot of sidewalk riders in your photo. Is this telling, or just coincidence?
These are super cute ;) looks like great weather too, while up here I'm working on my fog tan...
What cute outfit (dress&bright cardigan) the one in the first pic!
Jonno! I agree, it is cruiser central, and they are sooooo pretty! In terms of the "sidewalk riders," the one seen here is a friend of mine and we were test-riding the Strida bike right in front of the store where it was being sold. Otherwise I didn't see many sidewalk riders. There are bike lanes and bike paths built in.
I did however notice that bikes were locked to fences. I used to live in Venice and bikes are apparently stolen all the time there. I wish I could say otherwise, but alas, no.
