Cycle & Scoop Community Ride

It's hot, so come cool off near the beach with Metro Bike Share! Join us for an all-skill-level ride along the coast as we relish in the ocean breeze. Starting at the Downtown Santa Monica E Line Metro Bike Station, we’ll cruise along the coast, soak in the ocean views, and make a sweet stop at Dulcenero Gelato.

Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just getting started, this 5-mile roundtrip ride is the perfect way to wind down, connect with others, and enjoy the summer vibes.

If you would like to use a Metro Bike Share bike at no cost, please reserve an "I need to borrow a Metro Bike" ticket when you register. You must be 16+ to ride a Metro Bike.
