If you live  or vacation in La Quinta, you’ve no doubt seen bikers on our streets – sometimes it’s a lone cycler just out for a little spin . . . without the spandex, just taking it all in.  Sometimes you’ll see serious groups of bikers, indeed, decked out in their multi-colored spandex on their Titanium racing bikes, curled over the handlebars with their heads down . . . making their way to the Old Town Coffee Shop for some rest and refreshment.  It’s very European, it’s the Southern California lifestyle.  What’s not to love about the plethora of outdoor opportunities we are so fortunate to enjoy here in our Valley.

The Bear Creek Path that winds along the perimeter of La Quinta Cove offers close-up scenic views of the Santa Rosa Mountains and is a favorite for many bikers.  It starts at the base of the Cove at Avenida Montezuma and skirts along the base of the mountains on the right side of the canyon, eventually connecting with Avenida Bermudas which takes you on around the left side of the canyon and leads you to intersect with other established biking routes.

Whether you’re a casual peddler, a serious racer or fall somewhere in between, La Quinta offers many scenic paths to satisfy any biker.  The City has produced a Bike Route Map to help you locate established routes around the area and also provides the ‘Rules of the Road’ – worthwhile reading to familiarize yourself with local requirements.

Enjoy your spin, heed the ‘Rules of the Road’ . . . be safe and see you at Old Town Coffee Shop for a morning coffee !!!
