A giant bee costume, cycling around LA and Hugh Hefner's conservation efforts with Jason Bowers

  • Summary

  • Jason Bowers is the General Manager of Bikes and Hikes LA Tours, which takes guests on cycling tours of Los Angeles to get up close and personal with the city in an eco-friendly, health-conscious way.


    Before working for Bikes and Hikes, Jason worked in radio and TV with shows for Westwood One, Sirius XM and KIIS-FM Los Angeles. Jason also has a background in improv comedy having played to sold-out crowds at festivals in Austin, San Francisco, and LA and he uses these communication skills to entertain and inform his customers with Bikes and Hikes.


    He tells host Si Willmore about his background in broadcasting and how he got into improv comedy, and observes that there are some surprising parallels between broadcasting, comedy and guiding. Jason also recounts how he became involved with Bikes and Hikes and how the counterintuitive idea for a bike company in car-centric LA came about. He lists some of the company's biking tours, including around Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, plus their Griffith Observatory hike which includes visiting the Hollywood sign, as well as going further afield to destinations like Palm Springs and Joshua Tree.


    Jason has lived in Los Angeles since 1995 and so knows the city inside out. He shares some of his favourite places to go for a relaxed weekend, grab and bite to eat and shares some favourite ‘hidden gems’. He also shares Bikes and Hikes' plans for the future, including for visitors to LA for the upcoming FIFA World Cup and Summer Olympics.


    In the JRNY Podcast, Si Willmore talks with pioneers, trailblazers and thought leaders, who are pushing the envelope in the travel industry.
