The Metro Bike share program is finally upon us. It just launched at the Union Station in Downtown

Los Angeles and comparable to similar programs at major metropolitan cities around the globe. Now we can easily take the train and hop on a bike through our beautiful city, its various locales

-- stress and worry free.

So, let’s break the cycle and breeze through this sprawling urban center, brimming with culture and scenic memories, together. Introducing my latest lookbook guide with Metro Bike.

Follow along the #MetroBike hashtag to see my journey across my favorite neighborhoods situated in the East and Central parts of LA.
