About this experience
Santa Monica: Bike Rentals is a self-guided cycling attraction in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, offering hourly and full-day bicycle hire near the Santa Monica Pier. Riders collect a standard (non-electric) bicycle, helmet, lock, and map, then set off at their own pace along one of the most well-travelled coastal routes in Los Angeles. The Marvin Braude Bike Trail runs roughly 22 miles along the Pacific coastline, making it a practical and scenic route for casual riders and more confident cyclists alike. From the rental start point, riders can head south towards Venice Beach and Marina del Rey, or explore the streets around Main Street Santa Monica and the pier itself. The included map outlines key stops and route options, so no prior knowledge of the area is needed. Rental options cover two hours, four hours, or a full day, giving flexibility to suit different itineraries. Tickets cover the bicycle, helmet, lock, and map for the chosen duration. No live guide or transport to the rental office is included. Cancellation is accepted before the booked timeslot.
