Sunset Blvd. Bike Lane through Silverlake to Echo Park and Silverlake Bicycle shops

The Sunset Blvd. bike lane begins at Fountain Ave and runs on both sides of the street all the way to Echo Park. By LA standards this is a good one. It is well traveled and it feels pretty safe to me. I didn't time my ride and I made many stops but it seemed to be around a half hour or less.



















At the end of this ride this view is your reward - Echo Park and lake. If your visiting LA this is the place for a great bikeside view of the city skyline.





















Traveling along Sunset Blvd. towards Echo Park there are dozens of restaurant's and eclectic shops including the popular Sunset Junction stretch.





















Silverlake has a healthy bicycle scene and there are two bike shops along the Sunset Blvd. bike lane.

ECHO PARK AND LAKE

Lady of the lake?
Don't know much about this statue overlooking the lake.... she was looking a little down with some damage to her hands so I gave her a little makeover with a palm frond hairdo/headdress.


This is why you should make this ride!
Make sure your camera lense is clean though!
