Personally I dont see what Cyclavia does to help bike commuters, because it is once a year on a limited route. It may raise awareness a little but how does it help me commute to work on bike when i am not traveling on the Cyclavia route that 1 day a year?
What am I supposed to do if i want to go east or west in the area of Sunset Blvd? Or North/south in the area of Vermont Ave? Or East West in area of Wilshire Blvd? Those streets are all pretty dangerous to ride a bike on in my opinion.
Also Ballona Creek Path is not rideable after the sun goes down, it is pitch black and would be a good place to get mugged (like is happening on SART.)
Ive only been biking in LA one year but I dont find it so bike friendly. Yes there is Venice Blvd with the bike lane.
