We’re sorry to hear that; but psyched to invite you to turn your cancelled international vacation into a fun LA Staycation! Take an epic tour of our own back yard- sunny, beautiful Los Angeles. LA spans 503 square miles of fun, and Bikes and Hikes LA is committed to bringing you infinite options for fun, sustainable outdoor activities to make your LA staycation unforgettable.

Near, far, wherever you are, there’s something fun to do anywhere in LA! Give us a call today to book your dream LA Staycation.
2. SKIP THE BUS TOUR- TAKE A BIKE TOUR OUTDOORS!
One way you can avoid COVID-19 exposure is to avoid close contact with others- and ditching the LA bus tour is a great start. As the #1-rated Outdoor Activity Company in Los Angeles, we’re obviously committed to getting you out of your cars and into the fresh air, but we’ll share a little secret with you…even when we’re not social distancing, we STILL wouldn’t want to be stuck on a bus tour at all! We’re allllll about getting you on one of our bike tours, or private LA adventures. The social distancing order is still in place, so we’ll make sure to keep you 10 feet apart from any other guests on our bike tours. In the future, in a post- COVID-19 world, rather than being confined to a cramped group bus tour, enjoy the freedom and fresh air on our Hollywood Bike Tour or Griffith Park Hike Experience. You’ll be able to tour LA on your own time, and with the advent of our *new safety procedures* (coming up next,) we guarantee that our guided LA tours are up to snuff with the best safety protocol for COVID-19. Get off the bus and get outside!
3. STAY ON YOUR TOES – CHECK OUT OUR SWEET NEW SAFETY PROCEDURES!

Who said staying safe and keeping healthy can’t be fun? Bikes and Hikes LA has updated our safety procedures for all tour guides and tour guests, and we can’t wait to share them with you! All of our expert LA tour guides are First Aid and CPR certified, and are now armed and dangerous with hand sanitizer on hand sanitizer; we can’t wait to share the love. We also whipped up the dope new “toe tap” above in lieu of shaking hands with guests and guides, per CDC recommendations. Get hip to the toe tap! Hand washing is also key to reducing the spread of coronavirus- the CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds at a time; exactly enough time to serenade yourself with “Happy Birthday” two times in a row! If HBD starts to get old, you can also sub in the choruses of “Love on Top” by Beyoncé, “Raspberry Beret” by Prince, “Truth Hurts” by Lizzo, or “Africa” by Toto, for starters! All of our bikes and hiking equipment are sanitized before and after tours, and we advocate for listening to your body- if you feel sick, stay home! Bikes and Hikes LA does it the safest, and we promise we’ve got your back (10 feet away from you, that is.)
4. TREAT YOURSELF – TAKE A PRIVATE TOUR!
Another advantage of limiting contact with other people? You get to treat yourself to some “me time” – how about taking any of our private LA tours? Now, you can make any of your outdoor tours of LA private with a limited time *Healthy Habits* promo! When you book a private tour, enter the code PVTSTAY at checkout to enjoy a discounted private tour. You, your loved ones, or your team can treat yourselves to a private, VIP experience and avoid exposure to large groups of people, per the Red Cross COVID-19 Safety Guidelines. We offer unlimited private, bespoke outdoor experiences. Support small businesses (and your health!) and book a private tour of Los Angeles today! (We also offer gift cards.)
5. GET OUTSIDE- SOAK UP SOME FRESH AIR AND SUNSHINE!
If you’re bummed about your epic international adventure being cancelled, never fear! We have some *phenomenal* outdoor activities available for you and your team right here in LA. The number one tip for staying in tip top health (aside from STAYING HOME,) is fresh air and sunshine, and all of our outdoor tours guarantee just that! With the beaches and hike trails being closed in LA, we’re offering private, VIP, and group bike tours all over town. All of our current LA bike tour offerings practice social distancing- passengers must ride 10 feet apart, all equipment is sanitized, and guests and guides make no physical contact with each other. You can read all about our new, post COVID travel safety initiative here. We look forward re-opening our wealth of LA group tour options, such as our group sandcastle building lesson and our ultimate outdoor LA beach party once the pandemic has passed. If your company incentive trip was cancelled due to the outbreak, we’ll hook you up with outdoor LA group activities and tours far more exciting (and safer) than the inside of a convention center.
*BONUS TIP- IF YOU’RE SICK, STAY HOME.* WE <3 U ANYWAY.
A gentle reminder – this is a judgement free zone. We love you, and want you to take care of yourself. If you are sick, or feeling under the weather, please stay home, rest, and take care of yourself. (This is from the CDC and also from your friends at BHLA.) The best way for you to stay healthy is to be healthy– take time to take care of yourself and your loved ones. If you’ve booked any of our LA tours, you’re *always* able to reschedule – we’ll see you next time, when you’re feeling ready to rock and roll. Get well soon.
