Here’s photographic confirmation that bikeshare has arrived in LA: Not the City of Los Angeles, though; not quite yet. That’s a live bikeshare station in Santa Monica, on Main Street, next to one of the two bike corrals that grace the block south of Ashland. (There’s another and very busy bike corral two blocks north.) […]
Sometimes you just want a dose of good news…. So, with that goal in mind, I pedaled out of the city of Los Angeles last Sunday and down the coast to the beach cities. Specifically, Redondo Beach, where, or so I had heard, a new cycletrack had been built bridging a gap in the Marvin […]
Just past midnight August 13, 2015 I wandered through the shop pointing the camera at some of the bikes in stock in the shop, but mostly pointed it at small items in the shop I get a lot of phone calls about. The video runs long at almost 11 minutes (sorry about that!). There are […]
