Any councilperson want to wring this alternative transit victory out of the Dodgers? We're paying for their shuttle, we should get something out of it.

Where are these bike racks? I dont want my baby covered in ash, and it would be especially bad if I had to watch my Dodgers lose. Personally though, I LOVE zipping through cars and pedestrians after the games, makes me feel like a true Dodger! haha I usually just lock it to one of the fences or handicap signs on the reserve level.

I just locked up at a pole right in front of the gate. Security did make me check my seat, but other than that it was alright. A bit of an unwanted adrenalin rush getting out of there with zillions of cars and pedestrians going every which way in the dark, and no clear place for a bicyclist, but it was way faster/easier than trying to drive a car out of that parking lot after a game.

Coincidentally, the first time my wife and I biked up there for a game in May, the gated area was without smokers and a security guard actually opened up the barrier for us to get our bikes in. After locking up, we were ushered without a bag search through what I gullibly believed was a special gate just for cyclists, but in reality is just the smokers exit/re-entry.
