G'day LA by luxury e-bike: Griffith Park, Observatory to LA River
Soar to the top of a little-known trailhead ridge in Griffith Park -- to an elevation of 1,700ft smack in the middle of LA's city sprawl -- for insane 360 degree views of the H✩llyw✩✩d Sign and Griffith Observatory. Skip the lines like a VIP at Griffith Observatory, gliding past parked cars and pedestrians puffing uphill on Mount Hollywood. Discover movie locations, cinematic history and even a tragic ghost story. Learn about Walt Disney's hometown haunts and hug the largest Avocado tree in the USA. Our 3 hour ride starts and ends on the LA River in adorable Atwater Village, an easily walkable neighborhood beloved for its artisanal shopping and gourmet cafe scene. Sense of Humor is essential.

We head off into quiet residential streets for the LA River.
We enter the river at the new car-free "Red Car Pedestrian Bridge", so named after the legendary Red Car Rail Trolleys that rumbled over the L.A. River at the same spot more than 60 years ago. The new metal bridge, with red stripes running down its sides, is for pedestrians and cyclists only. We'll also learn about our beloved LA River, the lifeblood of Los Angeles throughout its early history, providing essential water for life in this arid region. Without this river, LA would have never existed. We’ll be standing under Hyperion Bridge, a replica of which also has been built in Disneyland. Walt Disney lived 5mins away in Los Feliz where he created Mickey Mouse in his Aunt and Uncles garage. He later, had his first Studio here in Silver Lake and was a regular at Tam O’Shanter, table 31 right here in Atwater Village. Built in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Glendale Hyperion Bridge complex has been designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
