Featured Headline: Our good friend Don “Roadblock” Ward, the 2010 Livable Streets Person of the Year, has just launched a new column about bicycling in Los Angeles at KCET’s website. An excerpt from the first column: “But back then getting a driver’s license was a rite of passage that almost every kid looked forward to, especially in Los Angeles where people barely get their mail without hopping in an automobile.
