Culver City Walk & Rollers said the return of its monthly Family Rides are here again. Starting Aug. 7 and continuing throughout the year, the group will host fun, family–friendly group rides to explore Culver City by bike.
All of our rides are lead by trained ride leaders and include a fun destination and/or activity.
On Aug. 7, the ride toured Culver City seeking out little libraries, catching Pokémons and ending with a picnic at Carlson Park to catch the performance of Frog Tales by Culver City Public Theatre.
“Little Libraries are cute fixtures residents have placed on their property to help build community and share the love of reading,” a group member said. “Generally you are free to ‘leave a book take a book.’ We know of 10 in the city. Join us to discover at least five of them.”
While exploring each library, riders pulled out their smartphones to seek out little monsters with Pokémon Go! The fun app that has everyone wandering and exploring their neighborhoods. They tossed in guidelines on how to play responsibly in your neighborhood, such as being aware of your surroundings, not playing while crossing streets and not wandering where you shouldn’t.
The last stop was Carlson Park to see the afternoon production of “Frog Tales” by Culver City Public Theatre. Summer without a play in the park is just not complete without the theatrical group providing a rolling good time and being available for group picture with the cast.
