Earlier this week Mayor Villaraigosa unveiled this “Give Me 3″ poster design, making good on his promise to push for a 3-foot passing law. I saw my first one of these yesterday at the Metro station on Santa Monica and Vermont. Done in partnership with the L.A. County Bicycle Coalition, and Midnight Ridazz, this is [...]

Yesterday, one of my favorite online bike shops, Velo Orange, announced the arrival of their line of cranks. Among them are two very nice 110/74 bcd cranks, one set up as a 46/36/26 triple and another as a wide-range double 46/30 with the outer position taken by a chainguard (one of these is already on [...]

On Friday night I saw Rent at the Hollywood Bowl. With an all-star cast and direction by Neil Patrick Harris, it was a great time. That’s beside the point of the blog, however. What’s pertinent is the Bowl’s lack of bicycle parking. Anyone who has gone to a show at the Hollywood Bowl (and if [...]
