Summer in Long Beach isn’t just for taking your dog to L.A.’s only dog beach and taking in the views of its famous oil islands while brown-bagging it. There is also that indescribable feeling when you bump Sublime in your car while cruising Cherry Avenue, too, plus the cooler coastal temperatures that you won’t find the deeper you go inland. But perhaps, most respectable of all is the city’s many miles of bike lanes, and where there are bike lanes, there are bikers with a nearly insatiable hunger and thirst.
We’ve mapped this route to help navigate your journey through some of the different neighborhoods that make up the city of Long Beach to take advantage of some quality street food options that we’ve handpicked to get your grub on.
This is an intermediate-style ride, so if you aren’t feeling confident navigating the streets on your bike, take advantage of public transportation or carpool with friends. Of course, if you bike, obey all traffic laws for bike safety and always wear a helmet.
