Ride a Bike and Meet the Mayor
San Fernando Valley cycling enthusiasts will get a chance to sweat it with Mayor Richard Riordan on his ongoing Ride L. A.: Community Bike Tour of Los Angeles.
Two 20-plus-mile rides are scheduled here: one in the West Valley on Dec. 17 and the other in the North Valley on April 22 of next year.
“The idea is to get a little community spirit going,” said Mike Weintz, a veteran bicycle racer and coordinator of Ride L. A.
“This is such a large city. . . . (The ride) gives people a chance to see the city in a unique way,” he said.
The upcoming West Valley tour will take the mayor and any interested participants from Cal State Northridge to Warner Ranch Park in Woodland Hills, then through Balboa Park and back to the university, according to the mayor’s office.
Organizers of the bike tour said all participants under the age of 18 must wear a helmet and recommend that all others do so too.
