Customer Reviews

Best way possible to see Los Angeles. Wonderful, especially for the older rider.

I love taking these "shortie" bike rides with my son, Myron Kempelstein, and many of his friends in the entertainment industry, including his ex-wife Amy Sedaris, and the Trump-Hiltons, among others. Excellent routes, although many are quite demanding. Scenic.

A treasure trove of fascinating facts

Short Bike Rides in and around Los Angeles is an absorbing book to read whether or not you are not going to do the rides. I found that each page is full of interesting history, geography, and explanations about what to see in different areas of the city, from Griffith Park to Hollywood to Santa Monica to Santa Clarita. I discovered the origins and meanings of street and city names which I'd always wondered about. As a cyclist and a member of the San Fernando Valley Bicycle Club, I have done many of the rides described in the book. They are scenic, safe on weekends, and enjoyable for both beginning and intermediate cyclists. The maps and routes are easy to read and right on target. I recommend this book for any rider who wants to try a bit of bicycle touring while learning fascinating facts about Los Angeles and vicinity. If you are not ready to ride, read it just for fun.
