Escort the Sweethearts Ride – Helen’s to LAX
Ok, so the week after Valentine's day, this guy who's a student at UCLA (that's me!) wants to ride his bike to drop his sweetheart off at the airport. He doesn't wanna sit in 405 traffic, or take 3 trains and a shuttle to get there. Problem is, transportation planners, in all their wisdom didn't forsee of anyone ever wanting to do that. As a result it's kind of dangerous to ride a bike to LAX because the approaches are basically set up like freeways. Given that car-centricity, it's no surprise that 85% of all ground trips to LAX are made by cars, with all the pollution and congestion that comes with that (the majority of those trips are people getting dropped off and picked up, creating 4 trips total and 4 times the pollution)!
