Map: All The Free Stuff For Bike To Work Day Tomorrow
Since you're already planning to save gas money tomorrow for Bike To Work Day (you are, right?), you can use this sweet map to find all of the free stuff along your route.
We're right in the middle of Bike Week LA and Metro's The Source blog has put together a handy map showing where you can get discounts and freebies on food, check out bike-in movies and tune up your bike, all over Los Angeles.
There are tons of pit stops marked by yellow tags on the map where you grab free snacks and coffee, meet up with fellow bike commuters, use bike pumps and tools, and receive cycling gear discounts and giveaways. Also, look for blue tags indicating where the bike-in movie screenings are taking place in the evening, and red tags where you can show your valid TAP card to get discounts at stores, restaurants and museums. You'll also see a few green tags at locations where you can say a secret password and get even more awesome deals.
Many of the deals and pitstops are available throughout Bike Week LA, just be sure to check the specifics on the map.
Some of our favorite Bike Week LA deals from the map include:

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
