Dynamic Desert: Exploring midcentury—and modern—Palm Springs

Stretched out on a poolside lounger, sipping a tall, icy beverage as the sun warms the grass-fringed deck, I squint behind my shades and imagine a swim-trunks-clad Don Draper emerging from one of The Horizon Hotel’s low-slung guestroom buildings and strolling over for a refreshing midday splash. Indeed, my Mad Men–inspired daydream fits right in with the retro ambiance of this carefully restored 1952 hotel. The only incongruity in this quintessential summertime scene is the snow blanketing the dramatic San Jacinto Mountains behind me. This is Palm Springs in the winter.

One of the reasons that I moved to Palm Springs in 1999 was to experience the great weather that I did not have while living in San Francisco. With about 320 days of sun here in the Desert, one can go hiking, biking, yoga in the park, take a stroll in town.

I headed north on Palm Canyon Dr towards the Uptown district when I came across one of Palm Springs' newest businesses: Bike Palm Springs Rental & Tours

With wide streets, flat terrain, and often very little traffic, Palm Springs is an ideal place to ride a bike. But until recently, if you didn’t own your own, renting one meant driving down valley to get one. Then, in fall of 2009, Blair and Rocky decided to change that. With Blair still running his busy interior design practice in San Francisco and Palm Springs, and Rocky deciding to retire from his contracting business, the couple of six years decided to start a new venture modeled after the successful businesses they saw on vacations to Provincetown: a bike rental company. Thus, BIKE Palm Springs was born.
