Heads Up: No Added Bicycle Capacity on Metrolink For Sunday’s CicLAvia
(Editor's Note: Sorry to run this disappointing news announced by Metrolink, when we're otherwise really excited about CicLAvia this Sunday. Don't forget, though, bicycles are not required equipment. There are lots of great CicLAvia attractions located within easy walking distance from Union Station! Including a pedestrian zone in the Broadway Historic Theater area. Also, don't forget that there are plenty of Metro rail and bus connections to the route - see this article at The Source for details. What's the solution, readers? Should cyclists press Metrolink for better service? Should Metro press Metrolink? Can we get bike share? Host more CicLAvias? Should far-flung CicLAvia participants just drive? Let us know in the comments below.)
