When you visit a new city, you want to make the most out of it. Experience every aspect of the new surroundings. But how can you do that in a place you have never been before? Usually without knowing anybody in the neighborhood? Sometimes the standard methods aren’t enough, and we advise maybe taking a hike, or using a bike to explore Los Angeles!
