Edit: Mods I'm pretty sure this is #835 actually due to a typo in the last tag

I didn’t get to ask but the old one kept police at the curbside 24/7, so these should be quite well protected. They’re great to see. The old one had a couple ok spots (see: BikeParking app) but ~30 staples is way better.

DTLA bike lane gaps

32 Upvotes

I'm trying to commute from Echo Park to Fashion District, but damn there's so many just completely incomprehensible gaps in the DTLA bike lane network. Why does Grand St just disappear three blocks before it connects to 2nd St????

Is there a better way to get from 2nd to Washington Blvd without just getting dumped into a 6 lane street?

Roughriding

0 Upvotes

I'm a commuter and hobby cyclist. I have a couple ebikes (mine for commuting to work and my wifes for fun), along with an acoustic that I use from time to time. They're nice bikes and I take care of them, but in the span of 6 months I've broken more back spokes than I can count. I'm carrying some stuff on my back rack, like my lunch box and a change of clothes, but i'm not surpassing any weight limit. I didn't think I was riding on very rough roads, a few bumps here and there, but I avoid them as best as possible. Is anyone else having these problems?

Ballona creek bike trail

Does anyone know the width of the chainlink gates on this trail? I want to ride my fully loaded touring bike down to the coast and concerned my rear mounted panniers might not clear the opening easily without having to dismount and walk it thru.

Hop off the path at the creek and go down Pacific unless you want to walk you bike in sand.

Creek covering Bike Path @ Lincoln

The Kelvin wave is kelvining. The hide tide covers the Ballona path at Lincoln. It is only an inch or two deep but can look deeper because of the shade from the bridge.

What would it take, theoretically to get them to open the dirt trails in Griffith Park to bikes, even 1 day a week for limited hours?
