One of the perks of being in Palm Springs in February is the perpetual sunshine. And what better way to enjoy it during Modernism Week than by bike!

Hot Purple Energy’s Modernism Week Bike Rides

On each Saturday of the festival, Hot Purple Energy will host an architectural bike tour kicking off at CAMP. Loop through the North side of Palm Springs and explore the Tennis Club, Old Las Palmas and Vista Las Palmas neighborhoods on February 13. If Deepwell, Twin Palms, and Indian Canyons is more your style, loop South on February 20. Enjoy the tour at a leisurely pace, and burn some calories while you’re at it!

This event is free with RSVP (e-mail rsvpNorth@HotPurpleEnergy.com). Bikes are also bikes available to rent for $35 from Big Wheel Tours (e-mail gotouring@bwbtours.com to reserve a bike).
