A Taste of Hollywood for the Final Night of Tour LaBonge

Iconic Hollywood was the focal point of Wednesday’s Tour LaBonge, the sixth and final night of the Councilmember’s annual biking series. Nearly 100 cyclists and community members rolled through tinsel town to celebrate some of the cities highlights and to promote cycling in Los Angeles.
“I hope this annual tradition will inspire Angelenos to take a ride more often,” Councilmember LaBonge said. “It’s not only good for the environment; it’s good for the waistline.”
Paramount Studios was the first pit stop on the way to Pinks Hot Dogs, the famed Hollywood eatery in its 70th year on La Brea Avenue. Afterwards, Councilmember LaBonge led cyclists down Hollywood Boulevard, one part of the 18-block Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year.
The annual Tour LaBonge bike rides are fun events that promote cycling as an inexpensive, environmentally friendly and healthy form of transportation. Every ride includes a police escort that will lead, accompany and follow the biking group. The annual bike series will launch again in the summer of 2011.
