Riding home on the Ballona Creek Bike Path
All my blogs have been on hiatus over the holidays, not so much because of the usual events, but because I moved twice in the last three months. I have finally settled in Culver City, a couple of blocks south of the Ballona Creek Bike Path. I live just ten minutes from the beach now, [...]
Long Beach to Newport Coast
I rode my new bike, (a Cannondale aluminum road bike, courtesy of my brother Tim) from Long Beach to Newport Coast this week on Wednesday, and returned on Thursday night. The Metro Blue Line took me from downtown to Long Beach, and from the final stop its just a couple blocks to the coast. [...]
Urban Expeditions: Pasadena Art Ride
After a hectic week working on the site and digesting the information from the LA Bike Summit, I was happy to get out and do a ride. The Pasadena Art Ride is part of the C.I.C.L.E. Urban Expeditions series which promotes city cycling and teaches street skills to new commuters. The ride was unusually [...]

Los Angeles Critical Mass

I decided to play it semi safe and go at six, which was still early, as the group straggled in mostly after 7, and we took off at 7:30. Nor was this the usual ride-for-an-hour [...]
cHill Chinatown Mosey
I met a guy at Safety Cycle this week who tipped me off to the Mosey, a generally social ride that takes off from downtown on the last Wednesday of the month at 10pm. I showed up to find a crowd of about 60 cyclists, and a rather bohemian scene. As the creator of a [...]
The Chinese New Year Ride
Alas, my camera batteries died and I have no photos, because this was a fun ride. Covering about a 40 mile loop between Scoops in Silverlake and Arcadia, a group of 13 made a pilgrimage to Din Tai Fung for Xiao Long Bao. The pace was faster than I expected, about 15 mph, but the [...]
