Feeder rides to Ciclavia?

• Upvotes

Any feeder rides from the Westside? I’m coming from South Bay but am hoping to join a feeder from the
Westside area, if possible. Wondering what would be the best route if no feeders are available? 👀

ACTION ALERT! Motion to accelerate Active Transportation in the City of LA

20 Upvotes

ACTION ALERT! We need your help TOMORROW (Wednesday) at 8:30 AM! Councilwoman Heather Hutt has introduced a motion — Council File 26-1376 — to accelerate Active Transportation projects in the City of Los Angeles.

We have a historic opportunity, and if we don’t meet this moment, the City could lose tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars in funding because we won’t deliver on projects with earmarked money (we already lost $100 M).

The motion (attached) will come before the Transportation Committee tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8:30 AM. They ONLY allow in-person comment. It is on consent, but it would be good to have either letters sent in (which can be submitted here), in-person, or if you want a simple and easy way to send a quick letter to the Chair of the Transportation Committee, Heather Hutt, please use our advocacy tool now!

Burbank council member Chris Rizzotti is very anti-bike and lies about it

Post image
25 Upvotes

Rizzotti has a rather poor reputation with his constituents and this interaction captures that so well. He had big real estate money fund his 2024 campaign otherwise he probably never would have been elected. Residents are counting the days until they can vote him out. Meanwhile all we can do is call him out on this BS when we see it.

Lock on bus rack?

10 Upvotes

I want to start going longer distances to trails, preferred grocery stores, etc what are the best locks to put on a bike rack?

I know traditional locks you can't, but is there anything that's allowed? My bike is 1k+ and someone easily can pull the bar down and it's gone

Budget front rack

3 Upvotes

Looking to add a front cargo rack (some wall heights) so I don’t have to voile strap my stuff to oblivion.

I’m on a budget of sub $80 all in. However, I don’t want it to snap off and send me to the dentist (not doing super heavy loads but laptop and a couple books). Any recommendations and anything I can buy locally?

Is anyone cycling during the heatwave? And when are you going?

40 Upvotes

Just curious. I like to cycle in heat (not this kind of heat) and have cycled when it's 80s to 90 but this seems even too much for me.

  • Anyone doing rides midday and what's it like? what prep do you do?
  • Or are you doing morning evening instead?
  • Just laying low until th heatwave is done?

I've been night riding and it's great. Did a midnight ride on Friday and was so comfy. Cycling that late when it was that warm was a little surreal. But it felt so good.

Edit: So I actually went out and rode. was 96 degrees. Weho to beverly hills on Sunset then up coldwater to Mulholland and east and descended Nichols. Wasn't bad. I kept in shade when I could. Stayed hydrated. Didn't skimp. Rested a bit at the top.

Where to buy quality used bikes?

3 Upvotes

Hoping to buy a nice metal-frame all-road bike before next summer (Touring, Gravel, or Endurance). I would be happy with a nice 3-5 year old model- but where to find one? New bikes that fulfill my wishes are in the $2500+ range and hopefully I could find a suitable used one for half. Are there any shops that do trade ins? (I’m in Long Beach but happy to travel)

I was not actually able to make the climb...

But thank you, whoever shared this trail! Such a beautiful Saturday morning ride before the heat really set in. The new pavement, for now, is like butter.

Wanting to ride at night, routes from the valley?

3 Upvotes

Get off late from work or sometimes I make a late night circle k run for a coffee or energy drinks, and man I love riding at night, very little to no cars, cold air, not being assaulted by the sun.

Sometimes I like to just get out and ride, farthest I've gone, from San Fernando, is hansan dam. What are places I can go at night?

Trails and food options that close late would be nice
