1/ To anyone who’s been wondering how they’re supposed to keep track of all the bike / mobility events happening in and around LA, the folks at Trash Panda Cycling and I are putting together a calendar to try to help solve this:

@bikeshopgirlcom I use the Jones - great for everything (shopping, cruising, long trips, bike packing) and hard core bikers are jealous too. https://t.co/94AdCdWKg6
A new transportation comic, "Moving From Cars To People," offers a succinct & fun intro to a complicated topic: namely, how the built environment in the US came to be designed for cars and what we can do about it. Check it out: https://t.co/tNtM4X4Msm
@bikeshopgirlcom Safety is friction point #1! I love riding instead of driving but I have been hit ridding to work - Hollywood to DTLA - and so I stoped making those longer regular trips. Take the bus or train though instead. We need protected bike infrastructure to overcome this friction point.
Make Sunset Blvd a safer place to shop, dine, and travel with Sunset for All. Adding protected bike lanes could reduce the number of bikes & scooters on the sidewalk by up to 90%, without removing any travel lanes. We need to start expediting these community-led projects.
Every 1M spent on bike lanes creates 18 more jobs than the same amount for regular auto centric roads…lets “self-propel” our planets future….#bikelanesrock
The EU just announced its 2020 road fatalities: 18,800, down 17% from 2019.
In the USA, 38,680 died last year, up 7% and the highest total since 2007. (Note, the EU pop. is 1/3 larger)
Something is very wrong with the American approach to road safety.
