Los Angeles Times on cicLAvia
Several people have sent me this article from Thursday’s L.A. Times on the efforts there to start a ciclovia.
Imagine L.A. without cars. A town where people ride their bikes and walk in the streets, and the smell of tacos and veggie burgers drifts through the air instead of exhaust.
Sound like a pipe dream? Not if [...]
Get it together — BICAS Art Auction this Sunday!
This year it is at the corner of Speedway and Stone in a large art gallery there. Lots of parking even for cars! SRSLY, you’re an idiot if you miss it.
And hurry on down to BICAS to drop off any bike-related art, clothing, or jewelry for the auction!

Bells

Right now the most probable date is Sunday, May 2, 2010, although some other dates are under [...]
Biking in Japan, where the car is always at fault
This just in from my friend and TBL Japan Correspondent, Sarah Jane:
Bikes in Japan are boring (but practical). They come with weird names like “Grave”, “Zapper”, and even “Weener”. I haven’t gotten pictures of all of the weird names, but I am forming a collection. I dream of BICAS everyday and miss [...]
My El Tour ride
It turns out that El Tour Saturday was my friend Paulus’s birthday, so I helped him and three other friends celebrate with a nice bike ride and picnic outside Sonoita. My second most favorite part of the bike ride was the Lightning Ridge Winery, which we came upon just a few miles into our [...]
Read More..>>Tuesday night EIGHT PM bike ride!
Remember the olden days when the Tuesday Night Bike Ride used to leave at 8 PM and meander through residential neighborhoods, avoid larger streets entirely, and follow a considerably different route every week?
If you miss that, try getting there by eight tomorrow. Some of us have resurrected the ride as it used [...]
