For
about
four years, Gil Garcetti photographed women riding bicycles in Paris.
Women of all ages,
smartly dressed, use bicycles to get to work, visit friends, go
shopping, go to
the movies or the opera, even to go to funerals! Garcetti is working
with LACBC to help urban areas of Southern California encourage bicycle
use and
thereby reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and fight the
growing
epidemic of obesity in America.
