Featured Headlines: Consider this one of the fruits of the LACBC's City of Lights Program which has helped the city focus bike planning on lower income areas. The Shareable reports on the anger that bike riding residents feel when all of a sudden bike safety is a major issue now that more and more middle and upper class white people are riding. While L.A. has a long way to go to be anywhere near the same league as Portland, who is featured in the Shareable story, but it would be hard to argue that Los Angeles' steps towards bike friendliness aren't rooted in an understanding of equity. Thanks for the heads up, Curbed.
