Biking back from LAX in the dark

Our set up after I uncovered and reconnected everything.

We went to Mexico over the holidays and left our bikes at LAX for over two weeks. When we came home last night, as usual, the bikes were still there, safe and sound.

My wife was worried about biking at night, and so I took several longer but chiller route deviations to make her more comfortable.

I love biking to LAX; you have a guaranteed ETA (traffic or no traffic, it’s always the same), free parking, and it feels great to move before and after a flight.

Here’s a quick video I made of the experience of biking 3 kids, luggage, and ourselves back from LAX at night:

Amazing! I love your approach to biking after a flight—it's such a great way to stretch out and refresh. I’ll definitely do the same next time !
