There are three opportunities to tour the parks by bike during the day. (LB to LA, West LA to Echo Park, Highland Park to DT to Hollywood) Time/location tba.

It's not too late to organize your own park, it's not too late to join an existing park.

Last year Streetsblog did a ride which was a fun all day 30 mile adventure. I believe this year he is doing his own space.
I am heading out to the westside for barlames ride so I may see the few spaces out there.
