Part of Bike Week Pasadena.

The Urban Bicycle Commuter Expo happens on Saturday, May 17th. Exhibitors from local Pasadena area bike shops, bike manufacturers, accessory manufacturers and local advocacy groups will come together to present the latest bicycles, fashion, and gear emerging from the ultra-hot urban bike commuter scene. Experience how-to workshops on bike maintenance, bike commuting, and apparel clinics. Entertainment will include live-music, DJs, and the BIKE chic fashion show.

Come ride with me to the event. I leave BRW at 7:45am SHARP and return around 7pm.

Points of interest. I'll be passing by The Bike Oven at 3706 N. Figueroa Street, one of the best examples of mid-centruy modern design at 534 Arroyo and riding under Suicide Bridge in Pasadena.

Please let me know if you're interested. If one wants to join me, I'll leave from my house and skip the BRW stop.

it looks like it would be much easier to take the freeway, flat, smooth, non-stop.

I might go also. I have yoga until noon, so I probably will leave at 1PM ish.

I live above Main St. Santa Monica.  If anyone would like to join me, my route is easier:  East on Venice to Crenshaw up to the Western/Wilshire Metro - teleport w/bike to Union Station and on to Gold line to Walnut (looks like) in Pasadena. About 12 miles flat.

Try to join Scott for downhill return (hey Figerioa... is one way downtown).
