Try pedaling to work

Los Angeles County. If you've been thinking about attempting a bike commute to work, here's an incentive: The Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced that May 14 is Bike to Work Day.

If your bike commute includes a route served by MTA bus or rail lines, you and your bike can ride free that day. See www.metro.net or call 213-922-2660 for more details.

Earth Day by the sea

Redondo Beach. If you're looking for an Earth Day event to attend, you might want to consider a visit to the SEA Lab in Redondo Beach on April 25 from

10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The lab and Redondo's Department of Public Works are presenting a free event at 1021 N. Harbor Drive that offers a number of eco-friendly activities.

Visitors can turn in plastic bags for reusable tote bags, get freebies such as energy-efficient light bulbs, and see natural gas vehicles and a composting demonstration. There also will be free aquarium tours and a native plant sale for those who want to make their gardens more water-efficient.

In addition to the composting demonstration at

1 p.m., visitors will get a chance to dispose of sensitive documents or records through a shredding service.
