This list was put together by the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition:

The Big Parade is a two-day walk through Los Angeles that will start in downtown, at the famous Angel's Flight Stairway, and finish at the Hollywood Sign above Beachwood Canyon. Day One ends - and Day Two begins - at the famous music Music Box Stairs - site of the Oscar-winning Laurel & Hardy film of the same name - in Silverlake. It will take place May 21 and 22, 2011. There’s also going to be a prologue on Friday, May 20, led by Bob Inman, covering the stairways between Eagle Rock and downtown. Most important: This is a community walk. That means we stay together as a group, and it means that YOU CAN DO IT! Why? Because we break the walk into segments so that walkers of all ages and levels of fitness can join us at specific times (of course, anyone is welcome to meet us at any point along the way - and all are invited to join us at the end to celebrate the walk). A core group of will be doing the entire event. But - as the name "Big Parade" implies - the true nature of the journey is community-based. In addition to passing dozens of landmarks, we will be joined by community members, both individuals and in groups, as we pass through the city's most diverse neighborhoods. The walk is broken into specific segments.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will be holding a series of Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 8 Hearing Board Meetings for the use of TDA Article 8 funds in the North County and the City of Avalon.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) are hosting four community meetings in April for the High Desert Corridor (HDC) project. The proposed 63-mile corridor to link Antelope Valley with Victor Valley is currently in the Draft Environmental Impact Study/Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS/EIR) planning phase.

People for Bikes, the largest bicycling movement in the country, is celebrating the 210,000-plus riders who've pledged support for biking and the benefits it brings to communities. To celebrate, we're going to do something quite innovative: shine light projected animated art on a massive building and other structures to demonstrate how "bikes make life better," the name of the video we're going to make out of the celebration. Some of the projectors will be stationary and some on traveling bikes. A large production crew will film the event and make a PSA we plan to release at the beginning of National Bike Month in May. We hope the unique display of bicycle-themed animations makes big waves across the country once we release the video.
