Protected and separated bike lanes should not even be up for debate. They should just be everywhere. It's a matter of basic safety. Those voices at council meetings that try to tell us that people on bicycles don't deserve basic safety, need to just be ignored. Everybody deserves basic safety when just trying to get around the city, so putting bicycle riders in harm's way is unacceptable.
Patchwork.... that's the best we have in Hollywood, white stripe of paint and a bike path sign is more common and even then the stripes often go for a few blocks. Now we have a bit of protected path along Hollywood Blvd for a distance. I rarely drive including for groceries, it's completely doable. Griffith Park is a nice option for car free place to pedal - there are streets blocked off from cars.
Hahahaha. Well it’s lovely to have you. I changed my account type a while ago and it deleted a bunch of comments that I left over the last 10 years so don’t mind me if you get a bunch of notifications of comments from old videos
Did you know that in some city in LA it is illegal to ride your bike in the sidewalk ? And did you know cops will stop your for pedaling in the street for no reason … so I just go on the street
There’s an Aldi at the end of the chandler bike path! If it was me I’d just go there for groceries, I like to modify my trips around the infrastructure but it can be limiting depending where you are. I grew up in Burbank right off the bike path and never realized how special it was until recently. LA and Burbank have a lot of work to do, but one place to start is building better infrastructure AROUND bike paths like these so that you can get to and from them safely and are not dependent on the bike path only
Absolutely! We checked out Handy Market. It’s an awesome little store with a deli (I’m sure you’ve heard of it as a local). Would love to see Hollywood way get more bike infrastructure as I feel like connecting it to the metrolink/future burbank BRT on olive would be massive!
@@SlackerStuff Oooh Handy Market is the best!! They have the best barbecue on Saturdays. It would be amazing if they connected the bike path with the BRT with connected bike lanes or a bus line. The thing about building in Burbank is that there’s a lot of NIMBYs and resistance to any sort of walkable infrastructure, but I think it is so important to have safe bike infrastructure considering it is such a family oriented town. They definitely have a lot of work to do but the BRT is a step in the right direction!
Has a bike ride ever radicalized you?

Completely agree!
Good way to put it
SoCal needs dedicated/protected bikeways...Politicians take note...and that bright green paint becomes very slippery/unsafe when wet...

Great video. I bike in LA, live in Koreatown, and take transit, and I echo your thoughts. I don't ever plan on owning a car again.
Thank you! Koreatown is pretty great for that. Hope you’re excited for the purple line extension!
Bruh... Welcome back, again. Keep doing these. I am a fan for a reason.
