    Southern California has some of the best weather for bicycling in America. They should invest in bike infrastructure instead of catering to cars.

      Okay but what if instead of that we subsidized safaris where you sit in the back of a convertible and shoot pedestrians as the driver takes you around?

      Like, i pay my taxes for a reason.

      I’m all for bike infrastructure but LA is already so wide and sprawling it seems like it would take herculean effort to make it cyclable at this point.

        I just want to ride a bike without constant fear of death. LA is statistically one of the most dangerous cities to ride a bike. I don’t care if it’s far—10 miles of sunshine and exercise and not dealing with bumper to bumper traffic sounds great to me, if I’m likely to arrive with my skull still in tact.
