“Safe, efficient automotive transit has become the cornerstone of American society, and the privilege of driving is inseparable from the freedoms bestowed on responsible adults.

Unfortunately, the act of motoring is confounded by the presence of bicyclists on our streets; they retard the speed of cars and block otherwise smooth-flowing traffic, causing insufferable delays and putting themselves at grave personal risk.

Bicycling on Los Angeles city streets is currently allowed, as dictated in the California Vehicle Code. Please be aware, however, that if a cyclist is injured or killed by a motorist, he or she is automatically deemed to be at fault, and any damages incurred to nearby automobiles will be the cyclist’s responsibility.

To preserve the health and well-being of our citizenry and to maintain the sanctity of our city roadways, bicyclists should be actively discouraged from participating in their childish, counter-cultural hobby.”

Oh, my mistake.
