"I see more and more cyclists on Los Angeles streets and they've inspired me to make this a more bike-friendly city," the Councilmember said. "The best way to do that is to get out and ride the streets myself and I hope people join me."
The Councilmember began holding bike rides last summer, beginning with a six-mile ride along 4th St. in the Wilshire District, which was a lot of fun. The 2008 series of rides will again begin with a ride on 4th St. on Wednesday, June 23. Bikers will meet in the parking lot of Shatto Park, 3255 West 4th St., Los Angeles. The route will follow 4th St. to Park LaBrea and back.
