- Los Angeles California has many many miles of bike lines. In this video, I ride around the city of Los Angeles and look at the different types of bike lanes in downtown Los Angeles. Some streets in downtown Los Angeles have wide designated bike lanes, and others just have a picture of a bike on them, and they are hard to navigate on a bicycle. In this video, I show you what it’s like to ride a bicycle in downtown Los Angeles, California. If you’re thinking about going to downtown Los Angeles California and renting a bike and riding around, this video will show you what to expect.  there are rental bike stations in Los Angeles where you can rent a city bike to ride around, and there are also a number of electric scooters on the streets that you can rent with an app. This video shows you what it looks like to ride around Los Angeles in the bike lanes. 
Nice to see LA is getting some bicycle infrastructure
I agree. I was expecting it to be much worse.
Ok, glad I'm not the only one who thinks some bike lanes don't feel safe LOL I'm getting used to it. E-scooter
Yes, especially in Los Angeles. Most of the bike lanes here are pretty scary.
You join a gang! That's funny... I have lived in LA 30 years and gained this wisdom: LA will take up bikes (which it should do, given the constant traffic jams) when there is one cross-city route which is 1) safe and 2) useful. Safe means no cars, useful means goes much further than a 1/2 mile of bike lanes. A useful route has to go from a residential area to an office area so people can commute. I nominate Pico Blvd from Santa Monica to downtown. Close it off, let the car traffic take the 10 or Olympic, and I think in short order you will see many thousands riding bikes to work.
I agree. Having a little stretches of Green Lane doesn’t do anybody any good. There really isn’t a safe way to get around downtown on a bike. I’m painting a picture of a bike in the middle of a car lane is just silly and doesn’t do anybody any good.
Those lanes with bike symbols and arrows within a regular lane for cars are what they call a "sharrow" so that cars know to "share" the lane with bicycles. Not very useful for the average bicyclist, unfortunately.
Thanks. I didn’t know they had a name. They are almost completely useless.
Sharrows are actually worse than nothing at all. They encourage more people to ride bikes on dangerous streets and gives riders a false sense of security, increasing the number of crashes and fatalities. @@hoohoohoblin
@@hoohoohoblin they should have reduced speed limit. In Ukraine (where I live) the maximum speed limit on such road is 30 km/h (less than 20 mph). It is a conception called "bike street" in Europe. In Netherlands the "cars are guests" ("auto te gast") phrase is written on the bike street ("fietsstraat") sign.
Tbh if there were more bike "gangs" it would be better. Strength in numbers lmao
You’re definitely more visible in a group!
Front suspension 3 gears and a mountain bike to go around LA? Someone has a bit of hardening up to do, haha.
Exactly my thoughts. A good quality steel frame with 25mm-32mm tires are plenty to absorb most bumps. I have been riding a fixed gear in DTLA for at least 10 years without issues.
@@jli213 Yeah I been on a Wabi riding about 200 miles a week for transportation in South Bay. As long as you have 32mm tires you're good here.
I am speechless
Neat.
Thanks!
Unpopable tires? i had no idea
As someone who is used to safe bike lanes, this looks pretty dangerous. I would not like to ride there.
You’re right. It’s very dangerous.
L.A is sooooo dirty😢😢😢😳
True.
As a DTLA resident, I would agree. It is better after the occasional rain.
No body walks in La hahaha
The streets were filled with people walking
