I’ve joined forces with Pat Saperstein from Eating LA to deliver the first Bike Bender, and we have fewer than 10 slots left, so reserve now. We plan to meet at 1:30 PM on Saturday, May 30, at the Gold Line’s Heritage Square station and guide participants on a food-focused bike tour of Highland Park and Glassell Park. We’ll hit multiple stops along a 10-mile route, showcasing the neighborhood’s range, both indoors and out. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes preview of a hot new area business that should debut in late summer. Our tour will culminate in kick-ass craft beer at Verdugo Bar.

The tour costs $15 per person, which covers the beer. Other than that, pay your own way at each of our casual, low-priced stops. At this stage, we’re not sharing the specific spots, but these are all places that Pat and I have been to and recommend.

If you have any more questions, here’s the Highland Park Bike Bender FAQ.

Thanks to Vital Juice and Eat: LA for the coverage.
