Considering the weather here at our LA HQ is usually quite pleasant, it’s a bit difficult to not want to take advantage of the sun’s shining rays. One way to enjoy the nice weather, and squeeze in a dose of vitamin D, is to bike to the office. While there are many alternative ways of get to work, sometimes biking can be quicker than trying to battle the LA traffic. Not only do you spend less time sitting in your car, but by biking to work you’ll be reducing your carbon footprint, spending less at the gas pump, and as team member Brad would say, “some wind in your hair and a little sunshine on your face isn’t a bad way to start your day”. Anything to enhance the day’s productivity and also helps the environment is a win-win situation. So, dust off those fenders, pump up your tires, put up the kickstand and away you go!

“A little bit of exercise to get the blood flowing is a great way to start the day — I’m a believer that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. At the end of the day, cycling home is a great way to decompress and transition from work mode to relaxation mode” - Sunny Ahuja (Engineer)

Music is essential to our office and day’s productivity – it gets our mornings started off right, puts an extra pep in our mid-day step and keeps us motivated as the day grows long. Each day here at the Rubicon Project, a team member faces the music and selects the Pandora station to be played throughout the office for all to enjoy  – and if a few aren’t feeling the day’s Ace of Base mix then they simply (and quickly) throw on their headphones to enjoy a personal collection of hits.  Our team members’ love for music goes beyond the realms of our Pandora stations at the office. Live music, concerts in Central Park, shows at the Palladium, Hollywood Bowl, Terminal 5, The Fillmore, Bowery Ballroom, The Showbox, Coachella and Stagecoach  – our team has been there, done that. Since we can’t always rely on Pandora to be our office DJ, here is what our team members are spinning on the 1’s and 2’s:
