We're conducting research on how to improve cycling infrastructure in Los Angeles.

TL;DR: Pretty sure LAPD "kissed off" an "ADW W/VEHICLE" report i'd tried to make. Tried to follow up with their community outreach officers but no dice. What now? Go to the news??

Some idiot was triggered that bikes can beat cars when it's bumper to bumper. Threw a can at me and then "played chicken" with me with their pickup. Got photos of vehicle and driver. Called it in. Waited +55 minutes for LAPD to show up. Cops were chillin on their phones when they finally parked down the block. Didn't even take or confirm my contact info. Confirmed some of the details i'd told dispatch. Said something about "it goes to traffic". Gave me a business card with incident number. Asked me to email them the photos. Seemed oddly reluctant to write out their exact email on the card when asked to do so for clarity. No reply since (it's been weeks). eta: no reply from the community lead (slo) officers either when i tried to follow up No reported incident shown on the crime stats page as of today, so prob no report taken in the end.

I didn’t get to ask but the old one kept police at the curbside 24/7, so these should be quite well protected. They’re great to see. The old one had a couple ok spots (see: BikeParking app) but ~30 staples is way better.

If you care at all about pedestrian and bicycle safety please show up to city council this upcoming Monday, October 19th, to express support for the planned protected bike lanes, agenda item F5.

Looking to doing an overnight trip out and bsck to leo carrillo SP from Weho...if anyone wants to ride out with me even if you dont want to camp send me a DM. Looking at Oct 24-25 weekend...good weather forecasted for this weekend.

Planning to ride up 39 through the closure and over the Islip saddle to Wrightwood. Anyone ride through recently or know if CalTrains is letting bikes through?

I'm trying to commute from Echo Park to Fashion District, but damn there's so many just completely incomprehensible gaps in the DTLA bike lane network. Why does Grand St just disappear three blocks before it connects to 2nd St????

Is there a better way to get from 2nd to Washington Blvd without just getting dumped into a 6 lane street?

Is there any good long loops? I’ve never been there and looking for a solid ride.

I'm a commuter and hobby cyclist. I have a couple ebikes (mine for commuting to work and my wifes for fun), along with an acoustic that I use from time to time. They're nice bikes and I take care of them, but in the span of 6 months I've broken more back spokes than I can count. I'm carrying some stuff on my back rack, like my lunch box and a change of clothes, but i'm not surpassing any weight limit. I didn't think I was riding on very rough roads, a few bumps here and there, but I avoid them as best as possible. Is anyone else having these problems?

Does anyone know the width of the chainlink gates on this trail? I want to ride my fully loaded touring bike down to the coast and concerned my rear mounted panniers might not clear the opening easily without having to dismount and walk it thru.

Tenampal on 1st St. Jamaica from a street vendor on same street.

For those who ride the PCH from santa monica to malibu....what's the best time to do this ride....want to ride from weho to Leo Carrillo SP on my loaded touring bike for an overnighter to test out my gear before doing a long bike tour.

Hop off the path at the creek and go down Pacific unless you want to walk you bike in sand.

The Kelvin wave is kelvining. The hide tide covers the Ballona path at Lincoln. It is only an inch or two deep but can look deeper because of the shade from the bridge.
