Here is a BBC STORY about the Mexican government forcing officials to bike or use public transportation at least once a month.

I found this tidbit really interesting:
"Only 0.7% of all journeys in the capital are by bicycle - and Mr Ebrard aims to increase to 2% in three years' time and 5% in six years."
pretty agressive compared to L.A. and the goals of the MTA:
"Metro’s Long Range Transportation Plan indicates that about 2.4% of all trips in the county are made by bicycle with a goal of 5% by 2025."

I guess MTA is trying to embody L.A. laid back image by taking their sweet ass time.

The LADOT's Bike Plan wants to do this:
"A transportation system which is accessible, safe, and convenient for bicycle travel, with an accompanying increase in bicycle mode split both in daily trips overall and home-to-work trips. The target level of bicycling shall be 5% of all daily trips and 5% of home-to-work trips by year 2015."

Wow. 5%.
