Quick ride by bicycle from Beverly Hills to Westwood, Los Angeles

This ride takes you from the iconic Beverly Hills—a neighborhood famous for its palm-lined streets, luxury shops, and the historic Beverly Hills Hotel—over to Westwood, home of UCLA and some seriously chill village vibes.

You’ll cover just under 9 km, mostly on quiet roads that snake through some lush residential pockets. Expect a bit of up-and-down, but nothing too gnarly—the climbs and descents balance each other out, and you’ll max out around 188 meters elevation. Most of the surfaces are smooth asphalt, so your ride should be pretty comfortable, though do keep an eye out for occasional sections where the paving info’s a little uncertain.

Wrap things up in Westwood and you’re in the perfect spot to grab a coffee, check out the Hammer Museum, or catch a film at the vintage Fox Theater. A sweet way to connect two classic LA neighborhoods!
