Add a Green Buffered Bike Lane and Number of Cyclists Explode
Yesterday, the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition released "2011 City of Los Angeles Bicycle & Pedestrian Count Report" and a separate study on bicycling on Spring Street in the Green Buffered Bike Lane. The result? Cycling in the city is on the upswing, as positive press, CicLAvia and new infrastructure are encouraging more people to embrace two-wheeled travel.

LACBC’s River Ride Is This Weekend. Ride the Ride, Watch the Ads.
This Sunday marks the 11th Annual Los Angeles River Ride, the mega-fundraiser for the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition that starts and ends at Griffith Park. Pending your leg power, you can turn around anywhere between the Park and Long Beach. Pre-registration is over, but you can sign up at the Autry Center in Griffith Park. Car parking is limited, so if you're not going to bike to the ride, consider car-pooling or parking off-site. There are six rides to choose from ranging from a kid's ride all the way up to a century.

Finally, a Draft Bike Plan That Cyclists Actually Like
Nearly three years ago, Mia Birk, a principal with Alta Planning and Design, stood in front of a skeptical audience and promised that the final Bike Master Plan would be something that all Angelenos would celebrate. What followed was a three year slog which saw repeated battles between cyclists, LADOT, cyclists, City Planning, and cyclists. But now the end is in site. A new draft of the plan was released yesterday to the cheers, yes cheers, of our city's bike advocates. The first hearing on this draft will be held next Thursday, December 16th at 8:30 am. at San Fernando Valley City Hall, 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, Van Nuys, California 9140.
