Nearly four thousand cyclists choose to ride together, meet others and make new friends while discovering the greater Los Angeles area.  The rides celebrate bicycling and encourage cycling as a leisure activity, as a sport or as a means of transportation.

You have all kinds of riders: the semi-pros with their thousand dollars bikes; the off-hour bike messengers that didn't get enough cycling for the day; the hobbyists; the curious with whatever bike they have - from Cannondale, Trek, Schwinn to a classic, Huffy; the wannabe costumed super-heroes (2 Spidermen) & cosplayers ( Chun-Li, animals like bears including a panda); and my favorite - the avant artist cycling fans, with their tricked-out bikes (some glowing bright, some taller than others, and some blasting sound waves)
