Nearly got hit today

28 Upvotes

I was riding on wilshire going westbound and was going around 2 parked cars and was nearly sides swiped by 2 cars...past less then 2ft from me. Does anyone know of a fronr/rear camera that can mount to the top of my helmet to record my rides to catch anyone being an asshole to cyclists? Im thinking of just taking the lane on my rides if there isnt a bus or bike lane to ride in....and give the finger if someone honks at me for taking the lane.

New bike lines are great and all but

Can we get some maintenance on EXISTING lanes? I guess it's not as sexy for politicians to brag about but there are multiple lanes and paths I use that require some serious fixing up

Venice, the Washingtons, Marvin Braude (especially around the Marina) I'm looking at you - for a start

I made a game to see where adding Metro Bike Share stations would be most effective

Looking for low traffic roads to train on

2 Upvotes

Im trying to find roads near WeHo that gives me low traffic so I can train for long days in the saddle for my PCBR tour in September. Right now I am riding 5 days a week doing ~12 miles each day and either doing a large loop or shorter out and backs to get the mileage. Will be bumping up the mileage by 12 mi every week till I get to 48 mi all while being close to where i live as I dont have a car to travel to a training spot. And at 12 mph this is up to 4-5 hrs a day when I get to 48mi days....plus it will be done fully loaded to test out the bike setup to see if everything holds together. I could use San Vicente from SMB down to Venice Blvd ~4 miles each way...and most of that road has a bike Iane. But dont know the traffic load in the hrs before noon

...most rides start at 5am.
