Biking With Tom La Bonge
Our energetic City Councilmember Tom LaBonge, who rapid-fired off his Favorite Buildings on our June show, is leading his fifth and final summer bike ride through the city tonight. LaBonge is famous for his Summer Solstice hikes in Griffith Park so it's no surprise that he's also an avid cyclist. What's next? A triathalon?
The 10-mile ride will meet at the Hollywood Field Office, 6501 Fountain Avenue, in Hollywood, at 6:15pm. The tour will include some new bike routes that have been marked in Hollywood, Larchmont, Wilshire Corridor and Miracle Mile. Perhaps most critically, the ride will include a stop for ice cream before wrapping up around 8pm. Helmets, of course, are required.
