Sure, you may have participated in a Modernism Week tour by foot or by double decker bus in the past, but what about one that comes with (optional) cycling?
PS ModCom hosted the Midcentury Sunny Cycle Tour on Friday, Oct. 16, taking participants on a two-hour ride through the prestigious neighborhoods of the Movie Colony, Old Las Palmas, Vista Las Palmas and the Historic Tennis Club. The tour was done on a party bike (those often seen cruising down Palm Canyon Drive with bachelorettes), and because it had an electric motor, pedaling was optional (but it was still a good way to get some exercise).
The Desert Sun hitched a ride on the bike to take a look through iconic neighborhoods and see residences made by renowned architects such as James McNaughton,
William F. Cody, E. Stewart Williams, Albert Frey and William Krisel. Check out our video recapping the event:
Midcentury Sunny Cycle Tours will also take place Saturday, Oct. 17, and Sunday, Oct. 18 at various times. Visit go.modtix.com/f/oct2026/sunny-modcom for more information.
Modernism Week October continues through Sunday, Oct. 18.
