This thread makes me kind of sad. I mean... its 2011 and in a major metro area of a nuclear superpower country bike commuters are sharing tips for finding smooth roads... myself, I would move. Seriously. I did in fact do just that. The streets in NYC were a whole lot better too. I know, I just spent three days driving to, around in, and out of L.A. I'm still telling people about the experience. There should be some kind of PTSD counseling set up on the exit roads out of the area. If you won't move, how about forming large civil protest actions and making city and state officials accountable.
