  1. @GaryRidesBikes @nlamontagne @LAPDbike Gary is right; my understanding is LAPD currently has roughly 250 officers trained for bike duty.
  2. Witnesses report SUV chased and struck first cyclist prior to fatal shooting; motive is still in question: bit.ly/MKSm4T
  3. More details on the shooting of two cyclists, one fatal, in Koreatown Saturday afternoon: bit.ly/MKSm4T #bikeLA
  4. Two cyclists shot in Koreatown this afternoon; one killed. bikinginla.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/two… #bikeLA
  5. @BikingBis @vabike That's why I haven't gotten excited this time. Three-foot standard is good, but this one seems unenforceable.
  6. @sam_ebnet Thanks Sam.
  7. Police need to stop placing responsibility for safety on cyclists, and place the blame on the party actually responsible, whoever it is.
  8. Red Bluff police crack down on cyclists after driver right hooked rider and drunk on bike crashed after stealing booze. redbluffdailynews.com/news/ci_207180…
  9. Memorial weekend drivers are out looking for a good time — not you. Ride as if they can't see you, because there's a good chance they don't.
  10. Take a moment this Memorial Day weekend to remember those who gave their lives for our country. And those with us who still bear the scars.
  11. Win a week at the Tour de France and a totally kickass bike from Cannondale; and a long list of LA bike events bit.ly/K0SUqc #bikeLA
  12. @BikePortland Can't argue with you; photo is inappropriate and runs counter to the message of an otherwise excellent article.
  13. Wow. Don't think anyone could make better argument that the war between bikes and cars is a one-sided myth. Must read. nowtoronto.com/news/story.cfm…
  14. Tragic news, as an 85-year old OC cyclist and former LACC professor is killed riding in Sonoma County. bit.ly/JCKF3N #bikeOC #bikeLA
  15. @JorgaHouy Thanks Jorga. I saw the article earlier, but didn't read to to catch the local connection. Appreciate the heads-up.
  16. We need residential treatment centers for dangerous drivers. 2 tickets = confinement until you admit and overcome your roadway a**holery.
