Hot Purple Energy Architectural Bike Ride

Join us as we pedal our way through architecturally significant neighborhoods in Palm Springs and highlight midcentury homes!

HPE will once again be hosting our iconic bi-annual Architectural Bike Ride during Modernism Week! What better way to tour through architecturally significant neighborhoods in Palm Springs than by bike? Join us as we pedal past and highlight midcentury homes while soaking in that Southern California sunshine–this is the perfect time of year to do it!

For those of you who wish to explore on your own, we will be providing an electronic copy of the map on our website a couple weeks prior to the event, and the route will be clearly marked with arrows for an additional week after the tour. The route will also be available on the biking app, Strava. *Please note: the route on Strava will slightly differ from the route map provided by HPE.

Hot Purple Energy is a local energy company in the Coachella Valley that values and celebrates the architecture in Palm Springs by designing and installing systems in ways that preserve the architectural integrity of homes.

The map will be provided 2 weeks prior to the event. To print or download the map, please visit: Hot Purple Energy.
