We at Laemmle Theatres are big fans of bicycles — three of the ten people in the Laemmle office commute to work by bicycle — and so are also big supporters of the L.A. County Bicycle Coalition. (Laemmle Theatres President Greg Laemmle serves on the LACBC Board as Treasurer.) This Sunday, June 9th is one of the LACBC’s big annual events, the 13th Annual Los Angeles River Ride. It’s super fun, open to all ages and abilities and features live music and great food. If you’ve never done it before, check it out!
