Attention bike and infrastructure enthusiasts: Clockshop presents an 18-mile guided bike tour through Northeast Los Angeles led by the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Infrastructure Inspections. This tour continues Clockshop’s ongoing series with artist Rosten Woo, tracing the pathways of water in Los Angeles. What does water want, and what do we want from water? This multi-stop bike tour will investigate a storm drain, developing wetlands, and water treatment facilities along the Glendale Narrows section of the Los Angeles River. 

Join us for the full experience, or just for a lunchtime conversation at the end of the tour, moderated by Rosten Woo. This will be an opportunity for both biking and non-biking attendees to hear from experts on multiple perspectives about the past and future of the Los Angeles River and its watershed.

The Hydrology Bike Tour Series takes us to rarely seen sites of water treatment, water modeling, and habitat creation in the company of multidisciplinary experts. The last bike tour in June 2025 investigated the South Bay, where water flows into the Pacific Ocean. These public programs are part of Clockshop’s multi-year initiative with artist Rosten Woo that will culminate in a permanent artwork and interpretive installation at the Bowtie Wetland Demonstration, a 3.5-acre stormwater filtration and habitat demonstration project along the LA River by The Nature Conservancy. Listen to What Water Wants, a 30-minute audio experience on the river’s banks by Woo, to learn more!
