Join PS ModCom for a fun 2-hour Sunny Cycle (cycling optional) midcentury tour of the many architectural wonders in a selection of prized neighborhoods.

Climb aboard the Sunny Cycle for a lively two-hour journey through Palm Springs’ celebrated architecture and Hollywood history. This open-air experience offers a fresh perspective on the distinctive homes and streetscapes of the Movie Colony, Old Las Palmas, Vista Las Palmas and the Historic Tennis Club neighborhoods.

Along the way, discover the work of architects who helped shape the city’s unmistakable style, including James McNaughton, William F. Cody, E. Stewart Williams, Albert Frey, John Porter Clark, Barry Berkus, Buff & Hensman, Charles Du Bois, William Krisel and Herbert Burns. From sleek modernist residences to dramatic desert retreats, explore how their designs embrace the landscape and capture the spirit of Palm Springs.

Architecture is only part of the story. These neighborhoods have long attracted Hollywood stars and creative personalities, and we’ll share captivating tales of the famous residents who made the desert their escape. It’s an engaging mix of design, local history and celebrity lore, enjoyed in good company.

The first tour of the day includes a stop at the Latin-influenced Café La Jefa, where guests receive 20% off the entire menu, valid all day—perfect for enjoying something during the stop or returning for a leisurely bite later.

The later tours include a short break at the trendy Eight4Nine Restaurant & Lounge, with complimentary appetizers. All drinks are purchased separately.

The Sunny Cycle’s electric motor makes pedaling optional, so you can join in or simply sit back, take in the scenery and enjoy the ride!
