Yeah, I read this yesterday in the treeware edition. Some of it makes some sense, but a lot of it seems like a re-hash of what's been appearing in the Times for a while now. Still, good to see bikes as transportation getting attention.
I had a little chuckle over this section though: "Midnight rides, many organized spontaneously and sometimes willing to be disruptive to lay claim to the streets, have become a monthly occurrence in some neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles."

Is it just me or have they been publishing the same article for a few years?

Yet another sign that the masses in this country are finally warming up to the idea of the bike as transportation.

it will be for EVERYONE in the BIKE COMMUNITY!
that's right.
EVERYONE!!
We all have a place at the table and are part of a larger network of people wanting to see some serious bikeability improvements here in L.A.. This BIKE SUMMIT will be a chance for us to better connect together as a political force and leverage our power and will.
A common agenda can and and must be found.
The Urban Environmental Policy Institute (at Occidental College) has just begun to plan how this BIKE SUMMIT can be a reality (hopefully for the fall...)
anyone can talk to me/ask me questions about this as it grows. Lots of other people are involved and more help is always needed.
