  1. @nlamontagne but agree the robo scooter trikes are ridiculous & not cost effective, & that bike patrols not as much a presence as should be.
  2. @nlamontagne LAPD has officers on bikes as well, including Sgt. Krumer (@LAPDbike), who acts as a liaison to the LA bike community.
  3. @ellyblue ha, well congrats & I wish you many sales!
  4. @ellyblue huh?
  5. @BikeBlogChris @BikeSD "DOT Creates New Lane For Reckless Drivers" : theonion.com/articles/dot-c…
  6. @nlamontagne @stevemouzon @louisepriestman @hblackson courtyard style apartment I live in is illegal under present zoning. Need to fix that.
  7. @nlamontagne @stevemouzon @louisepriestman @hblackson we need lots of little investments infilling gaps, not 1 big bet on a new DTLA tower.
  8. @BetterBike many developers want lower parking minimums, parking adds a lot to their costs. Their hands tied by gov & bank criteria.
  9. @nlamontagne @stevemouzon @louisepriestman @hblackson deficiency of LA urbanism many little gaps (mostly parking). New tower won't fix that.
  10. @nlamontagne @stevemouzon @hblackson @kevinklink unless convincing case otherwise, seems sprawl & towers ill suited for post fossil fuel age
  11. Now if only Beverly Hills could learn from Santa Monica that bike lanes fit in with high end retail too. Nudge, poke, nudge, nudge.
  12. Restriping of upscale retail corridor on Montana Ave., to include buffered bike lanes: bit.ly/Ji6ors my latest for @lastreetsblog.
  13. lol RT @SchwankyTown: @BikeSD @ellyblue "Did you know that impatience on the roadway can lead to sexual disfunction? You're not alone."
  14. US now spends more on transport than food RT @JO_Urbanist: Beware the 18% ow.ly/1MI9KN via @kevinklink #transportation #Urbanism
  15. @MarketUrbanism for the record, I always take the bus to LAX unless I have to catch a flight outside service hours.
  16. @SchwankyTown @BikeSD @ellyblue but I believe it means they are compensating for something.
  17. @SchwankyTown @BikeSD @ellyblue every time I encounter an excessive engine revver I interpret it to mean they believe real men have motors.
  18. @BikeSD @ellyblue men definitely get harassed too. Was once taunted by laughing guys in car, grabbed while riding & egg broken onto my bag.
