To celebrate a recent anniversary, my husband and I were looking for something different to do in and around the beach cities in LA. We both love Santa Monica and decided to go on an Electric Bicycle Guided Tour with Pedal or Not. What a blast!! Barb and Stephen, the owners, welcomed us warmly and after a few minutes practice, we were off and pedaling (or not). I honestly thought I'd make myself pedal most of the 17 miles, but using the electric part of the bike was so fun and easy that I let the bike do the work for me. Barb was our guide, and I was impressed with the tour she put together. We stopped at some Santa Monica and Venice landmarks that I had not discovered before. Her stories were fun and interesting. We appreciated the opportunity to take some beautiful photos along the way, especially of the Pier and the Venice Canals. We were not rushed, it was a leisurely pace, and was just plain fun. I especially loved exploring the canals up close and personal. I've lived in LA 10 years and have never taken the time to do this. This is the perfect tour to combine a little (or a lot) of exercise, enjoy some beautiful scenery, learn a little history and breathe some clean beach air. Whether a local or a visitor to the area, check out Pedal or Not for a unique adventure in Santa Monica and Venice!
