They must have recently put this in... I didn't notice it until this week...
This location is about 300 yards from the nearest parking lot & is not visible from the parking lot.
It's kind of in the middle of nowhere on the bike path.
Maybe that's why the station is nearly full of bikes.
Since it's named "Metro Bike Share," it must be government operated. The M logo is the same one used on the busses and the light rail system.
As the sign says, it's near Imperial Highway, on Dockweiler beach, but not really that close to anything...
You would have to trek out here to borrow one of these bikes.
So, $3.50 for an hour... Not bad for an electric bike...
Since the station is new, the bikes look pretty new too. So, maybe they're not too terrible to ride?
This is another location where they just put in a station.
This is pretty close to Marina Del Rey.
In this picture, at the end of this straight stretch of the bike path (pretty much at the horizon in this picture), the bike path does a 90 degree right turn then a 90 degree left to go over a bride over the Ballona Creek as it empties into the ocean...
At least this location is next to the bathrooms (on the left) and the lifeguard station (on the right).
There's a short walking path going left in this picture to some nearby parking (maybe 200 yards to the left).
This location makes more sense than the previous one...
Maybe that's why there's only two bikes in the docks at this location?
As I was taking this picture, the guy in the white shirt rode up in one of the bikes and was putting it in the dock.
