Or if you don't feel like walking you can take bus #43 ([http://saraksti.rigassatiksme.lv/?a=p.routes&transport_id=bus&t=xhtml&l=en#2803 see route]) towards Skulte from the same "13. janvāra iela" stop and get out at stop "Beberbeķi". There you just walk few hundred meters down the road and here you are!
=== Northwest towards [[Ventspils]], [[Talsi]] ===
You can try to get to the same bus stop (Pagrieziens uz Pinķiem) as mentioned above. Only from there walk back North, get on the big road and try to hitch. Make sure you have a good sign there, because most of the traffic is going only to [[Jūrmala]].
Better, but more expensive (1.10ls) option might be to take minibus from city center towards [[Jūrmala]]. Stop is near central station, just ask for the big minibus station if you can't find it. Beware that probably the minibus won't say Jūrmala, but Jaunķemeri, Dubulti or Sloka. These are districts of Jūrmala. Go till péagebridge, which is just before Jūrmala. You have to go left there, but go right and go under bridge to get on the road. There you will find a place to lift your thumb. In the same point as mentioned above, you can get little cheaper by using train. Go to train station, buy ticket (~0,60 Ls) till Priedaine (and take train going towards Sloka, Tukums or Dubulti). Get out in Priedaine station which looks kinda deserted and walk ~150m as railroad stays on your left and then turn left - cross the railroad and walk through forest (there is good asphalted bicycle path and road going)for about 1km. On crosroads turn right and there you'll see road going under bridge, go through and there is ideal spot for you. (this way you can get from Riga center to hitchhiking point in 20-30 minutes)
